As far as Tamil is concerned it is wrong to have the dotted circle
introduced. We need to remove the dotted circle from Tamil encoding.
see
http://www.araichchi.net/kanini/unicode/grammar/elongated-vowels.html
Also there are many fonts that donot come with a dotted circle included,
which causes havoc as it hides the tru natre of data (oppose to mistakingly
inserted dotted circles cause havoc in computing). Ever which way I think
dotted corcle is a problem than a solution for anythimg.
