Let's continue to stick to the technical aspects, and also let's keep in mind
the global nature of the mailing lists.

I'm still very much a newbie here but I do know that it's very easy for
discussions to get derailed in this way.

Another example from our mailing lists: "The Tamil community should ask unicode
to ..." (not verbatim). Most people would understand that this refers to "Tamil
computing user groups" rather than people of Tamil ethnicity as a whole, but a
casual reader may easily misinterpret it. 

Similarly, the word "foreign" has different connotations depending on your
nationality. I don't know what the nationalities of the two persons in question
are (and I don't care) but perhaps "non native speakers" would be a better
term?

In brief, let's stick to the technical issues. 

Keyur, Andy and others, thanks for your inputs, waiting to hear more on this.
Hope this discussion gives us a good insight into how unicode consortium works.
