When we encode Tifinagh we will encode Tifinagh. We will not meta-encode it for ease of transliteration to other scripts.
Yes that was the intent of my suggestion, I don't say that this must be done. But what would be wrong if a font was created for the Tifinagh script that would display Latin-based glyphs with diacritics rather than historic glyphs?
I think you should go back and learn about the characater/glyph model if you think this is a good idea.
Could it help to allow exchanges between use of the historic script in Morocco, and those that criticize Morocco and now want to support their language with Latin-based glyphs?
If you want to write Tifinagh in Latin, you should write it in Latin. -- Michael Everson * * Everson Typography * * http://www.evertype.com
