Yep, same here. Glad you are working and releasing translated
material, but it would be good to use Wylie so others could look at
the material and compare. We are also very, very close to actually
start using Unicode Tibetan in emails now (Vista or Leopard required).

Otherwise, anyone else, feel free to post short translations to the
list, and others could look at the material and either learn, or
comment. --Kent
