I completely agree. But why is't anyone else trying to scratch the itch?
Why are we the only prophets of the God of Typography on the Internet? I
still don't have a clue after more than six years of playing this game.

There was a special issue of "khabarnaame-ye anformaatik" by the same High
Council of Informatics we (FarsiWeb) represent in the Unicode Consortium
that provided a base for my works on Persian standardization. It was in
celebration of the publishing of ISIRI 3342, and included the text of the
standard itself, the text of the national 7-bit standard ISIRI 2900, and
many critical articles by sane and insane authors. It is probably that
issue you are missing. I can provide date and volume if you want to
contact HCI and ask a copy. My own copy is in a very bad situation after
being read and copied many times. It has more than 20 connected
components! ;)

If only the kind Microsoft would implement it, or listened to experts when
they finally would decide to implement it.
