These are great examples and I totally agree with you (and HS 
Teoh). It's no coincidence that those people who can read, write 
and speak more than one language with more than one script are 
those who think Unicode is beneficial. It seems that those who 
are stuck in the world of anglo/latin characters just don't have 
the experience required to understand why their simpler schemes 
won't work.
