A friend of mine is beginning to look at computer-aided analysis
of versification in Russian poets, and one of the first issues
to arise is whether there is any standard way to represent the
Cyrillic alphabet in 7 or 8-bit bytes (would this be called
RuSKII?)  It would be easy to assume some arbitrary mapping, but
it seems preferable to hew to any standard, if it exists.

Thanks,
