Thanks for that. THe Yes sufficed, but I
appreciate that you ran a tool on the data.

Between now and Friday? Unlikely.

You ought to. It is in YOUR interests and in the
interests of YOUR constituents to do so. And I
say this as Irish NB representative to WG2, who
am often at loggerheads with the UTC. So my
opinion is not a Unicode opinion. (Though I
suspect they hold the same view. You OUGHT to
follow these processes carefully.)
