Dimitri,

I'm sure we all need your angry comments to help us reach a consensus
in this admittedly delicate matter.

Unicode is not the answer.  ISO DIS 10646 is not the answer.  As I see
it, it's too early for an answer.  However, we need a reference
standard, just like we needed a reference standard for the Latin
script, and that's ISO 6937-2.  I think ISO DIS 10646 will make a
great reference standard due to its clean design, but will not make it
into production use due to its currently lacking implementation of
that design, and it may never see widespread use except as an
interchange standard.  I don't think that's bad at all.

Let's try to fix the problem, not try to hide behind the pretention
that the _other_ party's problems are sufficiently bigger than ours.

And please remember that we're dealing with international politics and
diplomacy in ISO DIS 10646, while Unicode is pretty much free of that.
This is a problem we can't fix.
