<font face="verdana,sans-serif">Thanks for this forward.<br>In my opinion the transliteration should not be the default input method. It should made available as non default.<br>1. Inscript is the standard keyboard layout approved by Govt. of India and thus it is our duty to encourage it's use.<br>
2. When we make inscript non default, we are encouraging people not tto use it.<br>3. If any one does not know or does not want to use Inscript, she can use other methods i. e. transliteration etc.<br>4. There is no standard transliteration scheme available. All available schemes differ with each other in some points. Thus it is not a wise decision to make a non standard method as default. </font>It should be available as non default.<br>
