Suggestions for EVA

[ReneZ]

Coming back to this again, would the following be helpful?

In the definition of IVTFF v. 2.0 I could easily include a concept of 'user comments'.
These would be similar to dedicated comments, but can be defined by each user as (s)he wishes.
They would be of the type:
  <c>
where c can be any single alphanumeric character, except of course the ones already reserved for IVTFF, namely:
! @ % $ - ~

This would allow you to define codes for different sizes of spaces and different alignments.

Once this concept has been included in the format definition, ivtt will be made to handle them gracefully, and user software will be advised to do the same.

I can see (from my perspective) a great advantage if new transliterations, including also the one from @farmerjohn, are compatible with the IVTFF format.
This will allow a great number of tools to process them, and compare them to other transliterations.
This is also true in case the original output is not presented in this format, such as for example the v101 transliteration of GC.
