Would someone please explain to me why ALL of the following can't
happen:

1. Michael designs a Latin-based input system for Vai.

2. Someone designs a Vai-glyph layout for a 47/48-key keyboard that
uses dead keys to access all the glyphs.

3. Someone designs a Vai-glyph layout for a 47/48-key keyboard that
uses shift states to access all the glyphs.

4. Someone designs a really big physical keyboard with a separate key
for every glyph.

In particular I don't see why it's such an awful thing for Michael to
design a Latin-based keyboard for Vai, unless it comes with some kind of
legal stipulation that the user can never switch to a Vai-glyph
keyboard, even if she wants to and one is available.
