are four problems associated with Unicode naming:
(1)
Different characters should not share the same Latinised name (so there may be
arbitrary differences in transliteration spelling to distinguish unique
characters/character combinations)
(2)

precomposed characters representing Khmer lunar dates (similar to vulgar
fractions though
When we looked into this at the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and
Sport, it was decided that Khmer handwriting order should {largely} follow
phonetic order. Of course typewriters had to follow visual-order. Most
computer implementations previously were not able to handle phonetic order
so

(1) Are characters in their own right
(2) Are needed for round trip script conversion (transliteration)
(3) Are not a trivial case: They are not contained in every consonant
cluster even when that cluster does not contain a visual dependent vowel
(4) Are useful for preserving phonetic value in d

Output goes to PDF, PostScript, line printers, PCL as well as HTML/XML. It
