When clear and evident errors are pointed out in data
files that are final, I "salt them away" with fixes
as preliminary versions of 4.0.1 (or 4.1, depending)
data files, which will eventually be reviewed by the UTC
for approval for the next release(s).
This doesn't fall into that category. It is a matter of
interpretation, typography, and argumentation about the
status of the IJ characters. Anything like that which
involves a change in a data file has to be taken up
*explicitly* by the UTC in terms of a proposal for
discussion and decision. It has to be driven by a
proposal and argued by the proposer, and is not something
to just "salt away".
