This is not the case. *I* mentioned free variation selectors during both of the ICE meetings. They weren't discussed at any great length, precisely because I and the other encoding experts did not feel that they were applicable to the basic encoding issues of Cuneiform. They may have a place in some future refinement of Cuneiform, but only for representation of notable variants of the *statically* encoded list of base signs, *not* for the kind of dynamic sign building that you have been advocating. --Ken
