So...still no support for Proto-Sumerian...once again Microsoft shamelessly promoting 'trendy' languages over the old favourites...:-)

Thank you for inquiring about Phaistos Disc support. Unfortunately, a proposal to add the Phaistos Disc Script to the UNICODE standard (which can be viewed online at http://www.unicode.org/alloc/rejected.html) was rejected. Since standards complaince is very important to the InfoPath team we are awaiting a resolution of this issue before we can move forward with support in the product, rather than introducing incompatibilities with this ~ 4000 year old data encoding protocol.

Since the disc obviously contains structured information, we expect that, when finally deciphered, it will prove to adhere to recognized IETF RFCs and when normalized into XML will be compatible with InfoPath.

At a certain point, maintaining backwards compatability becomes unwieldy.

Naah, the Phaistos Disk isn't a document, it's a board game.
