Hi list,
The moment you've been waiting for. Or dreading.
http://www.arabink.com/patacode
CAVEATs:
It is not an attack on Unicode, just an alternative (complementary) design
Some of it is clearly outside the scope of Unicode, but some of it
might be Unicode compatible
It is unfinished; there's lots of stuff to go in the intro; for
example. But what is there is ok and has been proofread.
It is focused on Arabic; if you have an interest in Arabic you will
probably find some useful info about how it works
It is under a Creative Commons license; collaborators welcome (the XML
source is there as well as a PDF file)
It has the perfect epigraph
It contains a mapping to latin-1 that works quite well as a
transliteration system. See table 4.4, "arabic-1".
thx,
gregg
