ME's remarks in _The Alphabets of Europe_ seem downright bizarre to me:

# Note that in
# Romania, Gagauz uses the characters S WITH COMMA BELOW and T WITH COMMA BELOW.
# In inferior Gagauz typography, the glyphs for these characters are sometimes
# drawn with CEDILLAs, but it is strongly recommended to avoid this practice.
# However, because Gagauz is a Turkic language, it may be left to the user to
# decide whether S WITH COMMA BELOW (as in Romanian) or S WITH CEDILLA (as in
# Turkish) is preferred.

It seems that the last two sentences say that it may be left to the user
to decide whether inferior or superior typography is preferred.
