One might consider adding corresponding
K WITH COMMA BELOW
G WITH COMMA BELOW
L WITH COMMA BELOW
R WITH COMMA BELOW
with corresponding canonical decompositions, updating the reference
glyphs for the existing WITH CEDILLA ones, and recommending using the
new (comma) ones for Lithuanian.
I do firmly believe that this would be desirable from a theoretical
encoding point of view. However, from a practical point of view,
knowing the issues involved with Romanian and without sponsorship by
an official Lithuanian body, unfortunately, this is clearly
infeasible.
