Re: khaat e Farsi
I may be able to clarify a few points:
We are talking about the name of a script in a very specific context. In a general context, especially in Iran, when we are talking about how we write our language we call it Khaat-e-Farsi and it is the only correct word for the specific variation of Arabic Script that we use.
We usually don't talk about the common family of writing systems (scripts) that have common origin and share a great deal of common characteristics (all being primarily right to left, using cursive connection and position dependent glyph shapes, a couple of dozens of common characters, etc.) The target of the locale document prepared by Roozbeh's team is referring to the general name of this common root (which determines almost all of the key properties of our writing system)
In English, they call it Arabic Script, which correctly identifies its geographical origin and has nothing to do with nationalistic propaganda of any nation. They also have something called Extended-Arabic Script but it refers to more distant relatives of Arabic Script common in Africa. Our script is a close relative of Arabic Script, with only a few extra letters and rarely used marks plus the concept of compound word.
Unfortunately, in common Persian we rarely talk about the above concept and hence we don't have a common, well recognized term to convey the same meaning. If we don't like the Arabic word, we may substitute something like Islamic and call it Islamic Script. I don't mean to give it any religious weight, but just substituting the physical origin (Arabia) by culture that carried along this script into our country and a lot of other countries and caused a single writing system to become a family of closely related writing systems.
I suggest Roozbeh ask more expert (linguist) opinion to see if they have a Persian term for the above concept -- at least within their professional linguist circles.
This confusion among some potential audience of the document also indicates that you may need to add a footnote to explain the meaning of Arabic Script as intended in the locale document.

I brought up Pashto and Ordu cases, because they are more relevant to
our alphabet.
Moreover from another point of view--the Unicode standard--we are
using the Arabic script, there's no such thing as Persian script
encoded in the Unicode standard.
Again, I'd like to know if other Arabic-based scripts, such as Pashto
and Ordu, call themselves "Arabic script" in their locale. If it is
common among all these scripts to call themselves Arabic (the case for
Latin-based scripts), then we should do that, too. Otherwise, we should
call it "Persian Script" and add some information (Arabic-based nature
of the script and so on) in a note.

Re: Locale requirement of Persian in Iran, first public draft
Roozbeh, I have a few issues. A minor one is that nobody calls the script "khatt-e arabi". I agree that in English it is called "Arabic Script", or as I learnt it here the first time, "Perso-Arabic Script", but we shall not translate the words one by one into Persian if it does not convey the message. I do not know the correct name in Persian for the script, but probably if we trace the name of scripts from "khatt-e koofi" to the current script, we reach at the correct name for the current script in Persian. I think it has something to do with "Naskh". Maybe I do not know the meaning of words 'script' and 'khat'. The second issue is the use of 24 hour time. I am trying to remember the way Radio announced time every hour, specially before the 14:00 and 20:00 News. I do not remember them saying "saa'at bist, be mashrooh-e akhbaar tavajjoh konid". Furthermore, most people are not used to the 24 hour time, although they can handle it. The usage of 24th hour for midnight was a little strange to me as well. But I guess it is correct. The draft recommends certain one character abbreviations for names of months in different calendars for using in tables. I believe this recommendation will lead to problems where an application displays a one month calendar with the ambiguous abbreviation for the name of month. Either the usage of such abbreviations should be better described, or remove them from the draft. Another option is to invent unambiguous abbreviations. Like: Ù Ø Ø Ø Ù Ø Ù Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø or using two/three letter abbreviations like: ÙØ ØØ ØØ ØÛ ÙØ ÙÙ ØØ ØØ ØÛ ØÙ ØØ. Although I believe that this draft is not the place to invent anything, and I suggest removing such abbreviations from draft.

Ok, I think that's as precise as we're going to get for now. I admit, I hear it more in slow, deliberate, formal speeches than in everyday conversation.
