As a blind braille user I wish that BANA would keep the changes to braille to a minimum. I know that they are trying to make braille as close to print as possible. However, sometimes I think enough is enough. I like the phrase "keep it simple ..." That's just me though and I will learn whatever I need to so that I can put out braille appropriately.
