Tex, et al --

> ... have added a Tengwar entry [...] to the Plane 1 Demo page.

Woah!  Hang on there!

I would like to voice a shout of vehement discouragement about this sort  
of thing. Tex wrote "it's not officially in Unicode yet" -- which still  
means "it isn't in Unicode".

Making an entry in this demo file for a proposed Plane 1 script that is  
NOT IN UNICODE, is both premature and dangerous. It has not been discussed  
in committee, and a spot for Tengwar on the roadmap is absolutely NO  
GUARANTEE of any future disposition.

If someone feels compelled to make an entry for Tengwar in any demo,  
please do it in the PUA so that people don't start getting the idea that  
Tengwar is encoded, because it's not encoded, and is not going to be  
encoded any time soon.

Thanks,

        Rick
