well, the current unicode template for tamil is
perfectly useless. with unicode in hindi, you can
maintain a list in alphabetical order. it's not
possible with tamil unicode. because tamil is entirely
different from hindi, which the CDAC team failed to
understand, it seems, when it recommended to the
Unicode Consortium that "all Indian languages are
based on Devanagri script". and every computer
professional who's into tamil s/w dev is waiting for
the new unicode scheme for tamil. hm! there's so much
politics in that front!
