The standards of digital typography are getting quite decent.  I posted
here about this a few weeks ago, but check out
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/syw/20041105 - you'll probably have to
pull down the view/character-encoding menu on your browser to tell it
to use "UTF-8", but then you'll see a nice presentation of the original
Chinese, Pound's version and the the page-owner's own translation,
which is not without charm (he's an engineer at Sun Microsystems in
Beijing).  -Tim
