    I have already read it and it sounds like you're saying Romance and
    Scandinavian are not unified in Unicode, or as you put it "Similarly
    [they] are distinguished". (And the context is about significant nodes on
    a script continuum that should or should not be distinguished in separate
    encodings.)

    If I am misunderstanding you, could you please make it clearer what you
    intend?
