When I started with Valdyan, I was using a typewriter older than
myself (I'm from 1958 and I think the typewriter is from 1953) and I
had no Valdyan script (thought I knew there was one, of course), so I
made combinations like "lh" and "ch" (counting as one letter, like in
Welsh) right away. I do wish there was an uncomplicated way to have
"i-with-a-stroke" and "l-with-a-stroke" in ASCII, though, so I could
revise the transcription now the script is working. I don't like to
require people to use a special font to read my HTML - I'm of the
school that thinks HTML is to make things easier for the *reader*
even if that means extra effort for the *writer*.
