I have a (hopefully) short question about "polytonic" Greek support.
Does anyone know what the idea was behind encoding Greek vowel+acute
combinations (without apirates, etc.) twice: first in the Basic
Greek section as vowel+tonos, for the second time in the Extended
Greek section as vowel+oxia? What is the recommended usage for
Classical Greek (and why is it better)?

Regards,
