       I was tempted to add 'machine readable data' after 'other
    than.....) here again. I should have done that although that wouldn't
    have rendered any less of a prime 'sin' my mistake of not realizing
    that alternative names are in NamesList file that had been available
    for feedback. I don't know how I forgot that there is NamesList.
    Anyway, I found that Devanagari Vowel Sign AA is now correctly
    placed in 'Dependent vowel signs' subblock.

      Except for one :-) I believe the following issue genuinely falls to the
    category of copy-editing(or whatever is left of TUS 4.0 book publishing
    procedure). It's about typesetting (not the content.) Why don't you
    take a look at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0B80.pdf to see what
    I meant?

      Anyway, I'll make sure that I'll report other problems during 4.1 (or
    whatever next version) beta period.
