Subject: Thai names

I don't know if this has been brought up by anyone yet, but a message 
coming in to WG3 today about FDIS 8859-11 shows that Thailand is 
going to ask for character names to be changed. I'd like to request 
that Unicode make the following additions to the names list:


0E2E	THAI CHARACTER HO NOKHUK
		= ho nok huk
0E2F	THAI CHARACTER PAIYANNOI
		= paiyan noi
0E43	THAI CHARACTER SARA AI MAIMUAN
		= sara ai mai muan
0E44	THAI CHARACTER SARA AI MAIMALAI
		= sara ai mai malai
0E45	THAI CHARACTER LAKKHANGYAO
		= lakkhang yao
0E46	THAI CHARACTER MAIYAMOK
		= mai yamok
0E47	THAI CHARACTER MAITAIKHU
		= mai taikhu

Note that the 2nd edition of 10646 has all these in parentheses after 
the character names EXCEPT for 0E2E, which seems to have been missed:

0E2E THAI CHARACTER HO NOKHUK
0E2F THAI CHARACTER PAIYANNOI (paiyan noi)
0E37 THAI CHARACTER SARA UEE (sara uue)
0E43 THAI CHARACTER SARA AI MAIMUAN (sara ai mai muan)
0E44 THAI CHARACTER SARA AI MAIMALAI (sara ai mai malai)
0E45 THAI CHARACTER LAKKHANGYAO (lakkhang yao)
0E46 THAI CHARACTER MAIYAMOK (mai yamok)
0E47 THAI CHARACTER MAITAIKHU (mai taikhu)
0E4D THAI CHARACTER NIKHAHIT (nikkhahit)

Note that in FDIS 8859-11 they didn't change NIKHAHIT to NIKKHAHIT. 
SARA UEE and NIKHAHIT already have notes in Unicode 3.0.
