Re(6): Italic open-o in omega

Encodings, in the *.enc sense, belong to the pre-Unicode and pre-OpenType
era! 

We should avoid them as much as possible, so that some day we may
forget them completely. 

Look into SVG: a glyph is either given by its position in Unicode plus a
few properties, or by a direct link to a glyph description in a font
(plus the corresponding Unicode position). No mention of encoding
whatsoever. This is a much cleaner electronic document format than DVI
(where you find only "positions" and rely on the encoding of some
external font, which is not even mentioned in the DVI file itself, to
find out to which Unicode characters the position refers to...)
