I would not suggest anything of the sort, just that the CSUR would be a template for how a private use allocation can be used on an unofficial, but still standardized basis, and also, as you said, that avoiding overlapping the CSUR, SIL, and MUFI agreements would be smart. I agree totally that archaic Chinese characters would be inappropriate for the CSUR. > I'm not sure how much longer we should continue to wait for Tengwar and > Cirth. I hear Michael talking about meeting with the Tokeinists every once in a while, so I can only assume that it is proceeding in some way. > -- > Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA | http://www.ewellic.org > RFC 5645, 4645, UTN #14 | ietf-languages @ http://is.gd/2kf0s Van Anderson
