[Latingp] Draft in-script variants

[Bill Jouris]

Hi Michael, 

When we were evaluating the cross-script variant, we used a 5 point scale, with 1 and 2 being variants and 3 being confusible.  All I have done is apply the same criteria.  And just listed those at level 1, ignoring level 2 completely for the moment -- even though consistency with the cross-script variants would indicate including those as well.  

Others may disagree with that ranking, of course.  That's why we have discussions to review them.  On the other hand, I'm having trouble seeing anyone (other than maybe Dennis) rating any of these as a 3 or beyond.  Note that I haven't even started on the ones, approaching 150 in number (and I haven't finished the Letter O) which would rank level 2! 

As you note, if the IP thinks we have been too inclusive, they can say so.  On the other hand, if we don't suggest something, they would be extremely unlikely to recommend additions.  Better, then, to have our draft include more rather than fewer.

I have a few comments regarding your suggestions.
Firstly, if we add these cases we also need to add all cases introduced
by transitivity, e.g., 0065 and 0119 and 1EB9, or 00E8 and 00E9 and 0117
and 1EB9+0300 and 1EB9+0301 should then all be variants of each other,
respectively.

Secondly, we don't have a rationale to add them, do we? We could just
say, we think that they look similar enough to allow for confusion. And
I'm not sure this is enough for the IP ... though, we could try of course.

Best regards,

Michael
