OK, that is good:-) I still find it cumbersome to read the hex codes, so I seldom
go into the actual data for verifying what is proposed. Anyway the
reference I cited was edited by Þorvarður Ólafsson who was the reference
also for the Icelandic locale in question, and he was the main source of
the Icelandic specifications in the Nordic Cultural Handbook cited above.
