totality of any one of these script (variant) tags can be represented by
another (single) script tag (and by that I mean all the characters represented
within the "variant" are also in another single script tag) then there is
precedent for an application to the ISO 15924 RA to register Latp. As far
as I can see from the discussion this is a different application to those that
have already been presented to the RA and the JAC in this respect (please
correct me if I am wrong).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

International Standards bending from their scope too much and script
variants would seem to be out of scope of the standard itself. I
haven't seen much of a response to Michael's proposal for <FONT size=2></DIV>
