Peter,

 For those situations in which unmarked-case glottal has been used, I
 think it would cause the least confusion to leave 0294 as a cap-height
 glyph, and call it upper case.

I don't have time to argue this out today, but it is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Oh, by the way, did I say it was wrong?

I'll try to argue the case in detail Monday.

Take into consideration the innovation: a short glottal has been added because people wanted to case it like other letters. They might have made another typographic choice: they might have innovated a wide capital to distinguish it from the "lowercase tall" letter. But they didn't.


It would be nice to see texts and to have a local expert's view.
