Thanks for the, hmm, textwall :) Glad you are back. 

To summarize:

#1: Make ASCII Great Again. And again.
#2: Transcribe between 1 & 3
#3: Take the IRI mantel

Hopefully a fair transliteration of intent.

Clearly #3 has the most appeal.

But yes, nothing comes for free, and pragmatism may drag us back to #1.

I don't quite see what #2 is for. Midway compromise? 

Either way, let's ruminate this.
