But the floodgates have already been opened - not just Ethiopic but Greek extended, much of Latin extended, the Korean syllables which started this discussion, the small amount of precomposed Hebrew which we already have, etc. People have tried to force them shut, and with good reason. But don't accuse me of starting something new.
You are, because the floodgates, while once open, have been closed by normalization.
Read what I wrote before:
This approach would certainly have simplified pointed Hebrew a lot, ... But I guess it is too late for a change now!
I recognised clearly that it is too late to make this change now, although it might have been a good thing to do when the floodgates were open (although as Mark pointed out it would not necessarily have made things easier). I don't want to reopen them.
