Yes, I did.
Since then, there has been no clear justification for the removal of Georgian
Asomtavruli (I was told that the two scripts were being disunified in Unicode,
and it is already for bibliographic references, and considered distinct by most Georgian readers that can't read it, but can read perfectly the default
Mkhedruli script variant with various combinations of diacritics for
transliteration, that could not work correctly if written with the Asomtavruli
variant).
Good gods.
Philippe, an early version of the draft had Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri. Both were removed before publiciation. One instance of Asomtavruli was left in by ACCIDENT. It is likely that Khutsuri will be added, since it encompasses the casing pair.
So the 4-letter code has been published for some time, but only with a conflicting 3-digits numeric code. As most users of ISO15924 will ignore the numeric code in most applications, they may already have started to tag their Asomtavruli references with "Geoa"
