Actually, while the actual assignment of points may be arbitrary and personal, the *process* Asmus went through of weighing pros and cons reminds me very much of the examples given in the WG2 "Principles and Procedures" document [1] for disunification. There are probably no absolute, undisputed, incontrovertible disunification decisions left in Unicode/10646. Everything will require some sort of pro/con analysis and discussion, and papers will need to be written (as Michael said). Maybe for some participants, the lower-case glyph difference will be more significant than it was for Asmus. > KU and WE were used by lots of languages, not just Kurdish by the way. That would be good information for the analyses and discussions and papers. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California [1] http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/principles.html (Michael and Asmus already know where this document is; so should everyone else on this list.)
