This is what I originally posted (in e-mail): >>>> I fully agree with John. I don't have any experience of being beaten up by experts on that point, but then only because I never even got the idea to make such a point. >>>> I'm sorry for the delay in coming back to this issue, but I somehow misread John Klensin's comment, and got everything mixed up. As a result, I have to disagree with John, and agree with Asmus and Addison Phillips. The initial/medial/final/isolate distinction in Arabic is of quite a different nature than the casing distinctions in Latin/Greek/Cyrillic/... In addition to what has already been said, I'd like to mention that the Arabic calligraphy experts that I have been in interaction with, in particular Tom Milo, always insisted that the four-way distinction was a hopelessly crude approximation to what good typography and calligraphy for Arabic warranted. -- GitHub Notification of comment by duerst Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues/67#issuecomment-183212461 using your GitHub account
