As Peter Constable noted, though, we need to be sure that the use of CGJ in this context is clearly defined and, most importantly, is not going to conflict with other possible uses. Uniscribe may, in fact, handle the character in a way that works now, but if so we need to confirm that this is intentional and is not going to change.Understood. It seems that Uniscribe currently (though possibly accidentally) supports the recommended Unicode 4.0 treatment of CGJ as a default ignorable character. It would be perverse of Microsoft, which is aware of the issue, to alter this behaviour of Uniscribe to make it less conformant to Unicode 4.0.

Paul, I trust you have been following the many postings to the Unicode list on this subject today. You may not have seen the closing comment of my last posting, which John quoted in part:
And where, for that matter, is the "host of people [who] will fight that proposal"? I hope they will now realise that the ogre they are fighting is in fact, if not a handsome prince, at least quite harmless.
