Ernest Cline a �crit :
How about the following:
When deciding how to encode ancient scripts in Unicode, sometimes
arbitrary distinctions must be made between scripts that had a
continuous evolution from one form into another. Depending upon
the point of view of the author, a text written in a transitional form,
such as Paleo-Hebrew, might be encoded in Unicode as either
of the two scripts that it serves as a bridge between, in this case,
Phoenician and Hebrew.
Depending upon how the passions run, this might mollify both sides
or it might make them both madder than they are. :)
[PA] I think this may only create confusion where there is none right
now (if it is true data are coded with Hebrew code points and a font
change does the trick).
A standard should attempt to standardize and improve things.
P. A.
