[Spellyans] Shall we vote on diacritics just now?

[A. J. Trim]

Eddie,

No, we may need more discussion here, before we vote. You have posed two 
different questions in one. The two answers may be the same or different.


Regards,

Andrew J. Trim

No opprobrium there, Michael; I did no more than pass on the concern from 
one of our (alleged) members. Happily, it turned out to be illusory.

I am sorry that you imagine opprobriom where none is intended.

Indeed, that might be appropriate for Jed to do; but we should bear in mind 
Mark Twain's words of advice on this sort of issue, bearing in mind that he 
was speaking tongue in cheek:

Are we yet ready, fellow Spellyansoryon, to consider a consensual rewording 
of  the KS formal spec vis à vis the precise rôle recommened by us for 
diacritical signs in KS? Perhaps we need more time to discuss the issue. 
Perhaps not.

I call for a vote; does anyone second the motion that we vote on the 
following form of words?
