Things that didn't make it into other messages.
I think our current system *looks* just fine. It's pleasing to the eye. My eye anyway.
I think the accepted pIqaD glyphs look fine too.
I feel that Tengwar is too unKlingon for my use.
Yes, when 3rd parties print Klingon in all caps, we lose the Q/q distinction.
Despite what Unicode might become, it's not yet universal. We need universal symbols/letters.
The ones printed on our English keyboards should do fine.
I fail to see a problem beyond Q/q. Therefore I fail to see why more than that needs to change.
