TSCII is mostly out of favor now (tamil.net being the main exception, and
that only because its webmaster hates all established standards for doing
anything!). The preferred encodings are TAM and TAB.

As to why they prefer TA[M|B] to Unicode, the reasons are many. I happen to
disagree with them, myself, as do many of the members of WG02 of INFITT, but
thats a story for another day, I think? :-)
