I hate to be pedantic (okay, I don't really), but wouldn't the Tablets
of Stone have been written in a Hebrew script, and thus could have not
been represented in ASCII? My only question is, did they use ISO-8859-8
or Unicode?
Also, I do not think you could accurately represent the Principia without
some of the mathematical symbols available in Unicode. I mean, it's hard
to do a² + b² = c², or √-1 = i, or explain that π goes to ∞ in just ASCII.

Meh ... that ship has sailed. I was able receive an Portable Document
Format™ file in email, add an electronc signature to it, and send it back
all without having to waste any paper. So it's not all bad.
