Well, duh, I guess, MichKa. You know I was one of those who actively encoded Tibetan in the first place and I did talk to the Tibetans during the meetings. (It was rather pleasant doing so.)Everyone here KNOWS this. What Ken was pointing out is that not only will it create such problems, but it will not solve the problem that they claim it will. It was an additional reason to say no, and one they might be forced to acknowledge since it refutes their claims.
What Ken said, maybe rhetorically, was to ask if Unicoders thought that the "introduction of significant normalization problems into Tibetan (for everyone) is a worthwhile tradeoff", and, since many Unicoders were not at the meeting, I thought it best to comment.
