The characters that might have similar usage in the scripts mostly look completely different.</div><div><br></div><div>3) Even ignoring the previous two points, the request seems to be for cross-script variants, such as for an Armenian letter that looks like a Latin letter. The "Guidelines for LGR" document indicates that cross-script variants might be created, but gives no hints about why we should do that given that the root zone will consist of labels of a single script (according to Section A.3.1).</div><div><br></div><div>This feels to me like the Armenian GP's submission is not related to ours, so we should not be commenting on it.</div><div><br></div><div>--Paul Hoffman</div><style><!--
