If they're so unaware of combining classes, might it not seem reasonable to think the the dialog might continue as follows?
- [gives explanation of combining classes and the related problem for Hebrew]
ISO: So, you're saying you're coming to us asking for duplicates of existing characters because of an error the Unicode Consortium made with some of those character properties they define?
- Well, yes, that's basically it.
ISO: Then, obviously they need to correct their errors. I mean, it's not like the wrong characters got encoded or something. Tell them to just fix the errors; that can't be difficult to do, and is obviously the right thing to do.
This is exactly my view.
Who is it who will kill the Unicode Consortium if UAX #15 were to be revised? Did it occur to anyone to *ask* about the possible revision of classes for the dozen or so instances that would be affected?
