One could hardly argue for an industrial reason for such a change, as was argued by Korea for Hangul at the Geneva meeting of WG2.I sincerely hope the proposed character set won't become a second case of Hangul precomposed syllables albeit in a scale about 10 times smaller. It'd be interesting to see how South Korea will vote on this. It may not be easy to vote against it because of its past 'sin'.
I guess the Tibetans will be shown one at the October meeting of WG2 in California. I did speak to them at the meeting and informed them about appopriate font technologies.Is there any opentype/AAT font for Tibetan? Do Uniscribe, Pango, ATSUI, and Graphite support them if there are opentype Tibetan fonts? In addition to the principle of character encoding, the best practical counterargument would come from a demonstration that Unicode encoding model for Tibetan script does work in practice.
