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.

Thanks,
