Re: [Indic-computing-users] Fw: indic languages important........

I kind of missed some of the exact points, but one irony is that kinds
of points and applications he is bringing is the exact reason that
standards-compliance is important.

SQL Interpreters, DBs, Compilers.  Chance is sooner or later they will
support Unicode.  But will they support some font-based or otherwise
obscure encoding used by some subset of the Indian population? 
Unlikely.  

We can get away with writing word processors, email clients, etc. for a
while but are we really going to start writing our own enterprise DB
systems and commercial level compilers?

but at some point we have to come up with either an engineering or
policy approach for handling the standardisation and encoding issue if
people are not happy with Unicode.

SQL DBs, Compilers,
