A future edition of the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex will
conform to the Unicode 5.1 standard and will include the character
x05ba, HOLAM HASER FOR VAV. A list and count of the holam haser after
vavs in the Westminster Leningrad Codex would help verifying the
transcription algorithm if anyone has such a list.
It's NOT as easy as counting the incidence of 'WO' as the sequence 'WOW'
is a vav holam-vav. Similarly 'W.O' isn't necessarily a holam haser if
the next consonant is a vav.
