Tamil-Latin proposal

[Richard Wordingham]

I did wonder if part of the idea was to get consonant + pulli accepted
as basic.

Actually, this touches on a very real issue.  U+0BC0 TAMIL VOWEL SIGN
II has a script property of Tamil, and there is a very strong tendency
for <U+006D LATIN SMALL LETTER M, U+0BC0> to be split between two script
runs and consequently to be rendered as containing a defective sequence
- the cursed dotted circle of the literal grammar police appears.  I
confirmed this in LibreOffice using the Code2000 font, which I know
supports Tamil.
