Things that still need to be done (1994/06/30):
===============================================

- Reimplement the support for the use of cyrillic fonts for LaTeX2e.
  For this reason russian.sty is not part of this release.

- Support for both T1 and OT1 encoded fonts

- Add active " character to danish.sty, `
  as suggested by Peter Busk Laursen: 
  To support characteristics in the danish language, I would find it
  usefull, if the following features could be incorporated in danish.sty:

        "|      disable ligature at this position.
        "-      an explicit hyphen sign, allowing hyphenation
                        in the rest of the word.
        ""      like |"-|, but producing no hyphen sign
                        (for compund words with hyphen, e.g.\ |x-""y|).
        "`      lowered double left quotes (looks like ,,).
        "'      normal double right quotes.
        ">      for Danish left double quotes (similar to $>>$).
        "<      for Danish right double quotes (similar to $<<$).

  It should also be possible to use commands (feel free to find other
  names):
        \lqq    lowered double left quotes (,,)
        \rqq    normal double right quotes ('')
        \lq     lowered single left quotes (,)
        \rq     normal single right quotes (')
        \klqq   lowered double left quotes (>>)
        \krqq   normal double right quotes (<<)
        \klq    lowered single left quotes (>)
        \krq    normal single right quotes (<)
        \dq     the original quotes character (")

  The k in \klqq is from the danish word "korporalsvinkel" (a corporals
  distinction).

- Add slovakian quotatian characters,
  as suggested by Jana Chlebikova:
  we have another quotation characters as in English. The opening
  quotation character is similar to Polish opening quotation (see
  Proceedings from EUROTEX'92, pages 125) and closing quotation
  characters is similar as German cl. quat. For ilustration I send you
  macros (from another slovak.sty) with this things. In that sty you
  can use both (english and slovak quotations marks) depending on the
  value \csprimeon or \csprimeoff.  I think, it is a good idea and
  macro looks quite nice. According me something similar is neccesery
  to do in babel-slovak.sty.

- Implement the suggestions for italian.sty from Claudio Beccari 

- Implement a `language' environment

Things that might be done:
==========================

- Redesign the mechanism for the support of active characters
