WG2 has not approved Shavian, and considering that it has hardly more
utility than the Phaistos disk, I wonder if they will. At least in the
short term.
There are a number of phonetic notations of various kinds. Possibly they
should be collected into a big bucket. As far as ITA is concerned, is there
a requirement to exchange data in it? Are people doing this now? Are there
fonts?
