The Romanians have complained about this unification and have prevailed:
Unicode contains s-comma and t-comma now (leaving t-cedilla basically
useless), and there is also Latin-10 (ISO 8859-16), which contains
both s- and t-comma. In any event, almost all Turkish is encoded
in Latin-5 (ISO 8859-9), which unambiguously contains s-cedilla.
As for RFC 1345, it's obsolete.
