<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">(2) The "Overview" section (lines 12ff) contains the wrong document title. The correct title is "Proposal for a Gurmukhi Script Root Zone Label Generation Ruleset (LGR)"<o:p></o:p></p>

(3) The section on variants (line 32ff) contains language that is cloned from Devanagari but does not apply to the specifics of the Gurmukhi LGR, because unlike Devanagari, no in-script variants are defined, and therefore "deviation from normally perceived
character formation" dos not apply. The following change is suggested.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Old:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <p>According to Section 6, "Variants", in "[Proposal]", this LGR defines variants which are<br>
"Confusing due to deviation from normally perceived character formations by larger linguistic
<br>
community". These cases are not of mere visual similarity; they can cause confusion even to a<br>
careful observer and hence have been defined as variants. In addition to these, NBGP also did
<br>
cross-script variant analysis among all the scripts under NBGP ambit. Gurmukhi and Devanagari
<br>
scripts are closely related to each other and there are many characters in both scripts, which
<br>
can be confused with the characters in other script.</p><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>New (suggested):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <p>The Gurmukhi and Devanagari scripts are closely related to each other and there are many
<br>
code points in both scripts which can be confused with code points in the other script. Additional<br>
cross-script variant analysis identified a smaller set of code points from the Bengali script. Where these<br>
can cause confusion even to a careful observer, they have been defined as variants. See Section 6,
<br>
"Variants", in [Proposal].</p><o:p></o:p></p>
