Clearly, the success or failure of a project like this depends entirely
on expectations.

I can think of many discussions we've had here lately that were much
farther off topic. At least Adam's prototype table defined the
characters by USV. As for his criteria, they didn't seem fully
specified to me (except that he wanted to be able to find out how to
type a-acute on different keyboards), so I guess only Adam could be the
judge.
