Kent and List, Hope the "Malayalam Ordinal Indicator"
is not frozen yet. Otherwise we'll have a wrong character name
in malayalam too, like kannada.

Already, people have written about it.
I'll also submit a document plus write in Unicore list also.
Possibly next week.

PS: Philippe Verdy's mail does not sound good
for the name change. Is the name frozen now?
Can anyone here inform us? ~ NG

Sorry, that can't be changed. The names are normative and immutable
after standardization by ISO/IEC10646 and Unicode (and thus approval
by governments, including India which has a voting seat voting at both
working commitees).

Such correction can only be added in the annotations found in the
charts, or in the "names list" file that is used to generate those
charts and which contains entries for these annotations.
