(1) I have nothing against the tilde, but it is to be observed that
Senart used "m" + tilde for the anuswara over a century ago --and it
still hasn't caught on.

(2) There is no reason to start a dispute with the Czechs --they don't
use the anuswara.  The "circle" of the anusvara could be placed to the
right, as in Sinhalese script, rather than above the letter.  There is
also no reason to have a "hollow" circle; it can be a solid dot, or
even a turned square (as in devanagari).  I doubt the Swedes will be
confused --and besides, they've been arguing that their gods appear in
the Vedas for 200 years.
