  I don't think an input method is _required_ for Indic scripts. It could
be handy and convenient, but not necessary. I guess you thought you need
an input method because you want to translate 'phonetic' (alphabetic)
keyboard input to glyph-based encoding like TSCII and TAM. Why would you
do that? If you just use Unicode, there's little need (as I wrote above,
it could be handy) for input method because you can make (almost) 1:1
mapping between Tamil letters in Unicode and keys.
