a) Is that because you think, "It's just a waste of paper, if you want
my opinion. Education is better." (as you told Shriramana Sharma)? In
which case how does one educate the non-native Sinhala speakers that use
the code chart if the traditional names do no appear on it?

b) Or is that because, like Doug Ewell, you think the transliterated
name should have been the description and the traditional native name
the annotation? e.g. You think it should appear like:
----------------------------
0D9A ක sinhala letter ka
= SINHALA LETTER ALPAPRAANA KAYANNA
----------------------------

instead of the current order:
----------------------------
0D9A ක SINHALA LETTER ALPAPRAANA KAYANNA
= sinhala letter ka
----------------------------

cya,
