Re: [charmod-norm] Case Folding introduction (Section 2.1)

This is what I originally posted (in e-mail):

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.
