Subject: Review of Tamil LGR dated Dec 6, 2018<br>
<br>
We have reviewed the updated proposal dated 2018-12-06 including XML and TXT files.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Here are our findings:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>TECHNICAL / DOCUMENTATION ISSUE</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Tamil is one of the few LGRs that assign an "allocatable" variant, yet the LGR did not defined a "no-mix" rule to prevent needless multiplication of variant labels where the same
label alternates the variant used.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The LGR makes the two encodings of SRI/SHRI allocatable but it is not clear why it would be essential, or even desirable to support all 4 permutations in a case where SHRI/SRI occurs
twice in the same label.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">--- SRI ---- SRI ---<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">--- SRI ---- SHRI ---<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Here "---" stands for some code points common to both labels.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">It seems only necessary to allow one or the other spelling consistently for a single label.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">If, unexpectedly, there is some requirement to cater to all possible permutations, then this needs to be documented very clearly and the cost for supporting it (potentially many
more than 2 allocatable labels) must be spelled out.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Alternatively, the LGR should be amended to contain a "no-mix" rule, patterned after the Arabic LGR's no-mix rules, or other suitable restriction.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The main document shows no changes other than what looks like minor copy editing/editorial. No additional issues identified.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In section 5.2.1, only the variant sequences for 6.1.3 have been listed, but not the ones for 6.1.1 (U+0B92 U+0BB3) and 6.1.2 (U+0BC6 U+0BB3). This is not consistent and is at odd
with the XML/HTML where obviously sequences appear along single code points.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The remedy is add these 2 sequences in section in 5.2.1 with references to 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 as it has already been done for the other pair.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">While the two sets are slightly different because the sets for 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 are 2 to 1 variants unlike the one in 6.1.3, the difference appears immaterial for this purpose and
having a full list of sequences in section 5 makes sense. <o:p></o:p></p>
