James,

We considered this approach, but then how would an individual registry 
decide whether to allow or disallow a character unless it were in an 
official document (e.g. an RFC)?

We need to have a single clear set of valid characters, and currently 
the only such list [and associated algorithm] is in 
draft-ietf-idnabis-tables-06.txt

Yes. we only raised the set which concerns Sri Lanka, but I believe the 
lack of usage and similarity with other letters is true for several 
other language digits.

I am sorry to bring it up at this late stage, but we were under the 
(mistaken) impression that this matter was being addressed.
