I am not mistaken; I never said Georgian wasn't structurally casing and I never said the difference is stylistic. If members of the Georgian user community want to consider this a stylistic difference, they are free to do so. Unicode/UCS doesn't impose orthographic rules on user communities, it makes no judgments of user practices, and it doesn't mandate or suggest how the actual users use the encoded characters. The UCS provides a standard encoding scheme to preserve and exchange plain text computer data. In order to be UNIVERSAL, the UCS provides encoding not only for day-to-day use, but also for scholarly and historic preservation purposes.
