Michael, you are doing a lot of good work which I appreciate on
important scripts. I don't expect you to drop it and rush to encode
Theban. I would be quite happy if you said that it was something that in
principle might be encoded some time, if sufficient evidence is
presented e.g. for its use for writing certain books, if someone else
wanted to do the hard work, when everything else in the queue ahead of
it has been dealt with, etc etc. What I object to is the argument that
it should be rejected because you personally don't have time to work on
it right now.
