While it is essential to get input from experts in the script(s) concerned, input from experts in script & character encoding is just as important. It is members of the latter group that end up making the final decision.
You know, Chris, when I was filling out the Proposal Summary form and came to the "user community" part I paused. Of course, *I* am one member of the user community for Phoenician; but I thought, naaah, if I put that in I'll just get flak for it. So I thought, should we bother to trouble Debbie to find another specialist? And I thought, naaah, Phoenician is such an obvious no-brainer (it being so simple), that shouldn't be necessary.
I remain grateful to Ernest Cline for his useful technical contribution to what will be the -R version of N2746. And I remain confident that Phoenician will be encoded as a unique script, separate from Hebrew.
