I agree with John. Now that there is a separate distribution list for
announcements of general interest ("news@unicode.org"), this "unicode" list
is available for discussion of specialized topics such as:
* encoding of specific scripts ("Brahmic harmonization" relates to this);
* technical issues related to implementation.
