You did not say anything about Normalization. That's more than correct. But the only reason for not allowing U+06C0 in the standard, is its cannonical decomposition. That weighs down all other reasoning. BTW, I got the idea from Unicode. Where else? ;) You may be correct in all your reasoning, but we are not talking about technology available at the minute, or using all of one's options, or even keyboards that can't generate two characters for a single key. We are talking about interoperable text processing. > If these exchanges look like a “monologue” (or perhaps a “dialogue”), > perhaps that is because not many people have registered on this mailing > list, or if they have, they choose not to participate. They looked liked monologues, because people did not reply to each other case by case. They posted them like announcements. (I don't have anything to tell about participation. There are many subscribers that have talked at the right moment, and there are many others who are just interested in listening.) > I am not going to “finish”. You finish!

Running a one-man show! I didn't ask you to finish. I asked you to tell me when you had done all your reasoning, and there is nothing else remaining on the issue. "When the dust settles" should have been the proper phrase. > I suggest you read my messages more carefully in the future if you intend to > reply to them. I don’t know what you are talking about. I have read all your posts, and I think they should have been informational for some of the subscribers. But I am mainly talking about: http://lists.sharif.edu/pipermail/farsiweb/2002-May/000266.html Which I replied with: http://lists.sharif.edu/pipermail/farsiweb/2002-May/000267.html and again: http://lists.sharif.edu/pipermail/farsiweb/2002-June/000276.html You did not reply to any of them. Would you please reply? roozbeh _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
