So is ISCII. Infact Unicode support for Indic scripts is based on ISCII.

ISCII has escape sequences which announce the start of a new Indic script.
An ATR char  followed by special codepoint  forms the escape sequence.
It is possible to support a page that contains different Indic scripts.There are

problems with the standard like, it assumes a default starting language,
which makes sense if the input is from keyboard and language is obtained
from the environment, but notl if data is exchanged between computers.
