Archaic scripts

Erik,
I am sorry my English. The remarks are not "arrogant" (except maybe
mine). "Global Arrogance" is a reproach of many countries against the
say that global solutions decided upon by global experts and interests
know better what they want than themselves.
Apology if I hurt you.

The question remains. You say you're looking for interoperability.
With whom. With the World normalcy (ie normative documents or policies
global agreements) or with other local or private standards?
Best regards
Louis Blériot
