There is a Syriac proposal in UTR#3. Is this related to your proposal?

The UTR#3 notes that it "is still in modern use". What is Syriac's
situation? The UTR#3 unifies Estrangela, Nestorian, and Jacobite/Serta
under Syriac, and queries whether Mandaic should be unified along with
them.

I would guess (only my guess) that they are using Arabic script drivers and
Syriac fonts.

Please make sure I (a member of WG2, the ISO side of this venture) get a
copy of your new proposal, please.
