No no no. I would not suggest anything of the sort, just that the CSUR would be a template for how a private use allocation can be used on an unofficial, but still standardized basis, and also, as you said, that avoiding overlapping the CSUR, SIL, and MUFI agreements would be smart. I agree totally that archaic Chinese characters would be inappropriate for the CSUR.

I hear Michael talking about meeting with the Tokeinists every once in a while, so I can only assume that it is proceeding in some way.
