Well, CLDR and ISO 15924 are both about locales, and not about character
encoding. And the original proposal which Rick postponed a decision on
was for a separate list for locale discussions.
If this discussion does indeed come to an end soon, I will be happy. But
I will continue to be unhappy if James' point is ignored and this list
continues to be the forum for discussion of typographical niceties of a
standard that I have no interest in.
And in case anyone is thinking of complaining about how much discussion
of Phoenician there has been on this list, I did try to divert the
discussion to the Hebrew list right at the start, but everyone else
wanted to discuss it here.
