The Korean registry does NOT use Jamos.

Yes, that's really the main point. The other point, at least
for me personally, is that I was already convinced before
2003 that Eszett should be allowed.

Well, to some extent, yes, that's unavoidable. If somebody is
on the mailing list, you can ask questions back, and so on.
If nobody is on the mailing list, that's not possible.

Also, if in addition the arguments put forward indirectly contain
factual errors (such as John's claim that NFC doesn't compose Jamo
to syllables), then we start questioning the understanding on the
other side and/or the reliability of the channel.
