I think the folks should take silence to mean "Gee, that's an idea amongst
the eight bazillion that we can't just pop off an answer to." It neither
endorses nor condemns the idea. I can also say that it would be MUCH
more productive to have the dialog start with "These are my ideas for
a regular expression syntax to deal with unicode." UNICODE hacking is
an art that, when jumped into lightly, bites one in the more sensistive
parts.
We would LOVE to have an RE languge for UNICODE, but its down somewhere
below the Mac port I believe in priority. (No, I can't tell you when you
can get the Mac port either :-()

I'd just like to thank Chuck and the Java team for responding to posts on
this list. I've have seen alot of posts from them lately and appreciate it.
I'd also like to recommend that we all give the Java team a little slack. We
all know that Java has the potential to be something really special. They
know it too and are trying to pull it off. Constructive criticism and
assistance is much more in need now then feature bashing.
When I was in the Army, a golden rule for briefing the commander was that you
never present a problem without giving him three solutions. If we could
follow that, Java development could precede faster.
