<p>For Public Comment on the Kannada and Telugu LGR Proposals</p>
<p>In reviewing the Sinhala LGR proposal, the IP noted that the
Sinhala GP considers the Kannada and Telugu letters distinct
enough so as to not contain any candidates for cross-script
variants.</p>
<p>The IP notes that the Kannada and Telugu LGR proposals contain a
proposed cross-script relation for the letter RA as well as some
dependent letters between the respective scripts and Sinhala. The
IP is a bit skeptical as to whether the letter RA / RAYANNA case
rises to the level of a variant and would like to encourage the
NeoB GP to review the matter.</p>
<p>In doing so, the GP is encouraged to engage in dialog with the
Sinhala GP and to come to a mutual understanding.</p>
<p>If the review by the GP concludes that the Kannada/Telugu RA and
Sinhala RAYANNA are distinct after all, the fix would be to remove
that variant (as well as all variants for dependent characters).
If the review comes to the opposite conclusion, the IP would
expect some added discussion in the LGR proposal text that better
documents why it is important that this particular variant should
be included.</p>
