Unicoders,
I am drafting a website on everything you ever wanted to about Greek
and Unicode --- more from a historical/linguistic than a practical
viewpoint. This is far from complete, and will take months to,
particularly as I am doing all the character stories ever for Greek.
It also is not particularly referenced at the moment, and contains
assertions I will have to moderate, etc. Particularly when I presume
to expound on the politics of getting codepoints changed.
Nonetheless, you might find the page on prosgegrammeni informative:
http://www.opoudjis.net/unicode/unicode_adscript.html . As you'll see
there, I regard the current treatment of prosgegrammeni casing a
misfeature, but I have no interest in proposing a revision of the
case mapping, even though (Thank God) that property is not normative
as far as I know.
Feel free to comment to me offline, threaten me with litigation, etc.
(Seriously, I do not speak for the Unicode Consortium nor intend to,
but I also don't wish to misrepresent it; so if something in there is
injudicious, please let me know.) Like I say, the page is very much
in draft still, but I've got enough there now to solicit comment on.
