Dear all, Many questions about our scope were made clear in the call, but not all. Notably, the limitation to a maximum of two strings was implied (see slide 21) but not explicitly decided as far as I could tell. It sounds like a strange limitation to me, given that there are cases where more than two words, even proper names, differ only in having different diacritics. My earlier examples included ø which was declared out of scope, but there're similar cases with "real" diacritics, e.g., Sjoberg, Sjöberg and Sjóberg. Can we consider cases where someone applies for three or more such at the same time, or where one already has two of them and applies for a third one &c? -- Tapani Tarvainen
