Regarding a very-recent post of mine, I apologize to the Unicode people
here on Qalam for having lesser expectations. While accommodating their
primary audience might make it more difficult to revise accompanying text,
nevertheless there's no reason for all of the Standard not to be of the
best quality that it can be. A few years ago, as I was discovering Unicode
and studying its manual, I was quite inspired by the clearly-implicit
desire to do the best they know how.

In a broader sense, when experts disagree, it's not so simple for
Unicode.org to decide which of several different definitions/viewpoints to
choose!

With my best regards,
