Thank you for putting this together. IMO, this case highlights the limitation of the tool. Trying to accommodate competing rules across various scripts can be a complex undertaking. I believe there is a misconception what the RZ-LGR can do or what even the DNS can do in terms of variant names at the top-level, but that’s for another time to chat about ☺
I read certain sections of the Greek GP’s proposal and it is clear to me that their criteria is not the same as that of Latin GP. So applying their rationale to ours, does not make sense.
I agree with you. They applied very different criteria. Nevertheless, I think those criteria make sense from their point of view. It's a script with a single language. If certain variations of the base character are considered to be variants in their language then that is most likely sound (pun intended). While at the same time our approach is sensible for a script with hundreds of languages. And unfortunately, those two approaches (each valid in their own domain) seem to be incompatible.
If transitivity is enforced, then so be it, but Latin GP should not agree with it. Let the IP figure out the solution for the combined LGR; it’s their job. Or am I missing something?
Yes, again I agree. The IP, short for *integration* panel, should be responsible for somehow integrating those contradicting LGRs. Not that I envy them, but that's beyond our job description.
