Dear All, I'm coming back to you about the EWTS and IAST transliterations. It's been about a year now that I sent my initial email[0], and I have a few follow-up questions: About how many transliteration tag requests were filed since it was decided to reroute them to CLDR? How many reached CLDR? The reason I'm asking is because after 18 months, my two tickets to include EWTS and IAST in CLDR ([1], [2]) are yet to see any progress and I don't know what to do to normalize these tags. CLDR 34 only includes 20 transliteration tags so there doesn't seem to be any overflow of such tags that would need to be reviewed. Also, the processing time for a request on this mailing list seems relatively short (a few days/weeks), while the processing time at CLDR apparently takes a few dozen months (other requests seem to take a similar amount of time, see [3]). My point is not to judge or annoy anyone, but I'm just asking for an acknowledgment of this situation that makes it virtually impossible to register transliteration tags, and maybe for a reconsideration of the process. What do you think? Could the automatic delegation to CLDR be reconsidered?
