[lojban] Re: Alternative Orthography. Yes, another one.

[Nick Nicholas <opoudjis@optushome.com.au>]

'Nother vote for accents. And really, (a) Unicode is here to stay, 
and the ASCII legacy thing will fade more and more, even though the 
ASCII-infrastructure is huge (after all, my Greek email 
correspondence is still in ASCII, though I can now start using 
Unicode by negotiation; (b) why not have both? These are unofficial 
optional conventions anyway. If both parties can deal with accents 
(and these days, that's no longer an unreasonable request,  even if 
not everyone does yet), then why not sanction that too?

Should any BPFK-sponsored publication (such as a supplement to CLL) 
mention Latin-based alt orthographies? Or the other ones? My 
suspicion is no; anyone have strong feelings on the subject?
