Wasn't Kim's article also published in
The Braille Forum? I also got a survey, somehow, possibly because I belong
to ACB? I did respond, for all the good it did. I am opposed to the
proposed UEBC code because of the awkward handling of math and other
technical codes. Otherwise, the minor changes to literary braille would not
be bothersome.
