Salaam Abdulhaq and others, I agree that Thomas has very extensive knowledge and a long history in this field. He didn't get the Unicode Bulldog award out of thin air: http://www.unicode.org/conference/bulldog.html
I wish that Mohammed could have adopted a softer attitude in taking on this discussion. The "group intimidation" method will not serve any good purpose in this kind of technical discussions. I would suggest Mohammed to take on a different attitude if he is to ever present this proposal to the Unicode Consortium.
