Thank you, O wise Sarasvati. I will go and ask the IPA guys (who may not
wish to subscribe to something as mailer-intensive as the Unicode List) if
they would like to go "offline". Of course, for them, it is going "online".
Current offline discussion (which will be summarized) involves assembling a
list of missing phonetic characters (some new, some old, some IPA, some
not) for inclusion in the standard, as well as the usual principled stuff
about what is a ligature and what is not.... :-)
Om naam Sarasvataye namah.
