  i would like to ask this question.

  are we going to just use some program (asuuming that 
somebody programmed based on UTR#21 and made it available
free of charge) and treat it as a black box?

  or is it necessary that most (?) people understand
UTR#21 ?


  UTR#21 is fairly hard for me to understand.
i read UTR#21 three times and still could not understand it clearly
(I must confess that I have not yet read the relevant portion of
Unicode book though).


  i wonder how many of those who proposed to use UTR#21
have read and understood it.

  I assume that ordinary people will have much diffculty
reading/understanding UTR#21 (I am not sure if
ordinary users need to understand #21 though).
