Proposal to add Roman transliteration schemes to ISO 15924.

bcc: <sanskrit-programmers_at_googlegroups.com> as an FYI - plz respond on
the unicode mailing list as needed.

namaste!

Sanskrit has traditionally been written in a variety of scripts ranging
from Sharada to Grantha. In the past two centuries, it has been written in
Latin based scripts as well (please see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari_transliteration
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari_transliteration#ISO_15919>). We
would like these Latin based scripts (IAST, ISO 15919, Kyoto-Harvard,
ITRANS, Velthuis, SLP1, WX, National Library at Kolkata romanisation) to be
included in the https://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html list.

The reason is that we would like to be able to present sanskrit text in a
variety of scripts and representations (see related thread
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sanskrit-programmers/bFnS0PsoDa4>)
- and search engines like Google
<https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077>recommend using ISO
15924 to specify the script. Please guide us as to how to proceed.
