This was a small task, once the "Answers To Questions", "Concerns" and "Recomendation" parts are cut out -there is not so much remaining. I rewrote the "sorting order" and "extension" parts which became a trivial effort. My approach for a new Recomendation section was to give a list of requirements that an Ethiopic Table would have to meet; and then go on to describe how our proposal meets these requirements. I believe this is a fairly standard method. At this late hour my phrasing and word choice will be poor. Fully awake I KNOW that I can not write anywhere near as beautifully as either of you two can. I have always respected and enjoyed the writing styles of each of you. I am happy with the frame work of the starting point I have just finished. You two must now review and clean up the content! IT IS ONLY A FEW PARAGRAPHS!!!! yTna, I probably have muddied the explanation for what we are doing with the diqalawoc -please rework this paragraph. What is the first name of Desta who first (or also) came up with this layout? yonas, please rework the rest. Rearrange, add, delete, etc. May I assume both of you have thoroughly read the 2 or 3 week old revised version of Appendix A and B and have found that no corrections necessary? I would like to, after 2 weeks, invite someone in from UNICODE to examine the html draft of our proposal and advice us before submitting a hard text copy. I sincerely believe this is a realistic goal because... ...there isn't much left to do!! Please come in and have a look for yourselves.
