Yes, I realize they are not (exactly) the same thing, but "orthography," as commonly understood, is not devoid of typographic conventions; those are _part_ of an orthography, at least as linguists use it--when one says that they developed an orthography for a previously-unwritten language, no one would assume that they had figured out how to spell things, but not bothered with how to actually write things down.And I did check the definitions, from several places, and I see nothing that contradicts anything I said, nor anything anyone else said. I meant what I said before, that the line is, apparently, drawn at different places for others than it is for me.

Wow, I guess I completely missed the point of this conversation and what Michael was saying--which seems to be that he's going to do this however he wants, never mind what anyone says, instead of trying to actually think about this and present a solution that could be adopted by people in the future. Is that a correct assessment?

I'm not sure why you're drawing the line here, and saying that "G/a" is orthography and other things, like capitalization, not. As far as I am concerned, Lojban orthography/typography/typesetting conventions/etc. are basically half done--the actual spelling of individual words is there, but the clause/sentence/paragraph/quotation stuff is missing.Orthography and typography are not the same thing. Check the definitions. I posted them in this list a few missives ago.Chris--
