If Wikipedia Foundation lease

agree to share the data in most confortable form and provide
conversion solution also.
I believe this will result in a permanent split and that it will
impede take-up of Unicode
We will also promote Unicode 5.1.
You should be doing this NOW, and you should NOT be making the
creation of <http://zagawyi.wikipedia.org/>zagawyi.wikipedia.org a
pre-condition for promoting Unicode 5.1.
Actions speak louder than words.
In contrast to your believe, we (founders) are pro 5.1,
but users are not.
I don't believe for a minute that users think about the encoding
model of their fonts.
I see
<http://myanmaritpros.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1445004:BlogPost:44018>a
lot of wrong design in previous and current Myanmar Unicode models.
I really hate cover up with We Are Standard words.
Unicode is the international, world standard for the encoding of text
in the Myanmar script. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. The
best minds in this industry have recognized that there were problems
with Unicode 4.1 (mostly having to do with support for minority
languages) and Unicode 5.1 corrects this.
