[Christopher Kimball <transcriber AT tanach.us>]

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,
