Of course, there is already one Aramaic block lurking under the name of
Hebrew. What we need on the West Semitic 22-character scripts is cool and
civilised discussion of which stages need to be encoded separately.
Charging in with isolated proposals is a recipe for rehashes of the
Phoenician row.
I'd suggest making it a public review issue, but we do not want a repeat of
the danda fiasco where almost everyone assumed someone else would do the
work, and one person who had submitted evidence in the past assumed he did
not have to call it up explicitly. Setting up a specific list might work,
but it could just as easily be a flop like the Seasia list. I seem to be
the only one who's initiated threads there :-( I think it would also be a
good idea to wait until Phoenician is fully approved, deadlocked or
rejected.
