I have submitted to the Unicode Technical Committee and Working Group 2 of the ISO 10646 my response not in support of Michael Everson's proposal to encode Phoenician in Unicode.
You can download the Acrobat PDF file from: <http://www.jhu.edu/ice/proposals/PhoenicianSnyder.pdf> Feel free to comment. (There have been approximately 1500 emails on the Unicode and Hebrew email lists over the last few months on this topic - it has been very controversial.) Respectfully, Dean A.
