Hi,
The reason the Aramaic is being discussed now is that
right now there are people who are interested in it
inside your Unicode community.
Right now Jewish studies and Biblical studies people
are finally trying to convert to Unicode, fonts are
being made, proposals written, great experts are
looking over proposals.
In 18 months or so, this will all be over, and we will
go on to a different type of standard (support for
Semitics in C/C++? a keyboard standard?...), a
different Bible project, maybe even a different
character set standard.....
I don't really ever want to deal with alphabetic
Semitic character sets again after this, and I doubt
that anyone else does either......Elaine
