Sorry for that horrible HTML post. Am re-sending the message again.

I had mentioned this some months ago on this list. The paper is now available at the following url:

http://acharya.iitm.ac.in/multi_sys/unicode/intro.html

Fred just asked for and received a sneak preview of the paper a couple of days ago:-)

It is an exceptionally painstaking work that condenses both Prof. Krishnan's thoughts on Unicode for Indian language computing and the SDL approach to multilingual computing for our country. 

Venky, you mentioned in the mail about Mozilla localization that ISO is waiting for Indian language developers to settle to some encoding. Hopefully, Prof. Krishnan's labour of love for the past twenty years for Indian language computing and his rich experience will have a place in that discussion. In fact, Netscape approached him some years ago for localising its browser.

As always, you can send your comments and suggestions on the paper to

P.S: By the way, it was magnanimous of Prof. Krishnan to acknowledge my help in the intro page. Rest assured that my effort was mere window dressing and I didn't write a single word:-)
