[99-C12] Consensus: The sense of the UTC is that the CTT proposal for Hangul ordering in document L2/04-108 (WG2 N2715) brings forth many useful and important ideas, however it would be a substantive change and requires more in-depth technical analysis before proceeding.

Thus it should not be incorporated into the default table. We are open to additional clarifications on the informal specification of Thai ordering in given in Annex C2 of 14651.
