    Another example, not in text but in a discussion of orthography, is at http://www.learnyoruba.com/ORTHOGRAPHY_1.pdf

    There has been a need for a while to review references to African usage in the descriptions. There are some errors (or obsolete usage) and a number of broad references to "African" (for which maybe more precise indicators would be helpful?). If at such time as an annotation is added to U+0329 a more thorough review could be made, that would be useful.
