It seems that Unicode has supported the dotless i for over a decade -- and
in software products that use Unicode for the bulk of that time. Your
tradition is supported by anyone who believes it important enough to take
the trouble to support it (where trouble in this context is defined as
installing just about any remotely recent OS that supports Unicode!).
You can tell them that the ball is now in their court. We can lead the horse
to water, but...
