I would suggest to use the terms "natural/artificial" scripts, to stay
homogeneous with current ISO proposition on languages. However this rises
the question I raise about "normé" scripts: when the idea to convey is
additional characteristic of the script (like the example I gave: Latn for
French but without eccentuated upper cases) would it be still the same
natural or articial, or qualified as "normé" (in using the best English
word I look for), or a variant?
