I wonder if I may comment please.

 there is a balance between the ways of regarding posts by an
enthusiastic individual who is seeking to make progress with his or her
research and who is seeking advice and constructive helpful comments on
what he or she is suggesting should be encoded.
As if in a
research common room and floating ideas to experts in a variety of specialties, such as encoding, linguistics and software programming,
seeking opinions, while each participant is sat enjoying a hot beverage,
 be it tea, coffee, hot chocolate or peppermint tea.

Yes, indeed. Fine.

Well, that the former feeling is felt is
unfortunate. For myself, that is not my intention. I am seeking to make
progress with my research.
I want to submit a proposal to encode
one character into regular Unicode so that it can be used with the base
character followed by a sequence of tag characters method that was
recently invented for encoding flags: a method that can have application
 for various purposes, including in-line graphics encoded in a plain
text document.
Yet discussion of my ideas in this mailing list is not allowed at present and maybe it never will be allowed.
This makes it difficult for me to have discussions prior to submitting a proposal document.
May
 I mention that if anyone is interested in viewing my latest research
there are four transcripts available at the following place?
