Sounds reasonable.

Then, what we need to make clear is the answer to a question:

    Why is uppercase/lowercase issue that is unique to a
    particular group of scripts covered in this group?

Or, in other words,

    Are there any reason we can't remove case mapping from
    our spec?  (Other than something like "because it is a
    natural English convention..." :-)

Once some persuasive statements are included in our draft,
most of complains (if not all) about lack of some language-
dependent processing from our spec will disappear.
