Your remark on which I was commenting was: <quote> During this short period, when I am on this list and receiving the enormous volume of mail, I am stating things that I will not be around much to state. </quote> I wasn't suggesting that you haven't been working on relevant issues, or not doing useful work. I was commenting on the fact that you appear, by your remarks, to be making a temporary appearance on this list. Development of the Unicode Standard is a community affair, and if you want to have a significant impact on the development of the Standard you need to be an active and on-going member of the community, at least for the duration needed to make the changes you care about, not just someone that pops into town for brief appearances. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
