Hi Thierry,
Again I really appreciate your help.

As you pointed out unicode is the solution but we have to pay attention
the source file be itself encoded in unicode.

I have worked with VTK (the visualization toolkit). It is like
babel and allows differents block to be chained and evaluated on demand.
In VTK, such a chain is called a pipeline. Clearly the main challenge of VT=
K is
to ensure that the data flowing between algorithms are compatible.
VTK relies heavily on the type of data.

How in Babel can we associate a type to a data ? to a column of a table ?
to a list ? Without such a information, how can babel infer the type ?

Best
Ernesto
