Hi, <BR>
<BR>
My apologies if my earlierr email sounded like a criticism of not subsuming Tongyong Pinyin under the subtag [pinyin].<BR><BR><BR>From: cewcathar@hotmail.com<BR>Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:03:35 -0400<BR>> <BR>> <BR><BR>> <BR>> This is not my area of expertise and I am happy enough with Michael Everson's proposal excluding Tongyong Pinyin since this solves the problem of distinguishing to two--this is the most convenient solution I guess<BR>> (whether or not it is the best grouping of the Pinyins I cannot say).<BR>
<BR>
Michael Everson's proposal is really fine with me if Tongyong Pinyin is really an attempt to revise the Pinyin orthography rather than just a minor rehashing of it; Tongyong Pinyin does not come from the People's Republic of China, so we can differentiate it I guess. As I said, I'm not expert enough to decide this.<BR>
<BR>
I do not want to keep this proposal from going forward. <BR><BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>
<BR>--C. E. Whitehead<BR>
