Do all people inputting Devanagari have to use a character palette,  
inputting it one character at a time??

This seems a ridiculous waste of effort to me, so I hope not.

There have been similar problems in Unicode input and output for my  
language, so I've run into some of these issues, too. :(

I hope we can get it worked out. Have you had any contact with this  
project?

Thankyou for being willing to share your expertise and experience. :)
