I have read the short proposal and my answer is YES, of course, the UTC should accept these two characters. Keeping LATIN SMALL LETTER AT and COMMERCIAL AT separate will keep internet protocolls sane. Unifying the two will cause potential damage depending on the locale (guess of @ being capitalized and mapped to something strange ...) --J"org Knappen
