I already gave an example of capital form of 'c' with cedille is
often plain 'C' without cedille and seldom 'C' with cedille, even
though tools of ISO 8859/1 and Unicode support 'C' with cedille.
It's a fact, not an assumption.
Moreover, it is a fact that ISO 8859/1 includes 'y' with
diaeresis but not 'Y' with diaeresis, which means people
accept plain 'Y' without diaeresis as capital form of 'y'
with diaeresis whenISO 8859/1 was defined.
That is, people affect the tools.
Now, may I ask where are facts supporting *YOUR* assumptions?
