I see the impact of Franglish on you :-)

May be will you want to read RFC 3869 to see what IAB thinks about the 
commercially funded contributions great but unfortunately limited 
contribution capacity. As for the Roman horses asses vs. British ponies 
asses dispute over NASA rockets, all efforts contribute. But at some stage 
- the Lords and the Congress must pass a bill - and States to put money to 
finalise, harmonise, correct .. and sometime impose what private searchers 
did not dare to dream (look at Gabriel Mouton, 335 years ago ....). The 
Unicode effort will last, but it is a major step ahead calling for other ones.

PS. If you do not know who Gabriel Mouton

A pal of mine :-)
