[Blindmath] braille code changes and nemeth

[Susan Jolly]

I can't speak for others but here's why I'm still discussing it.

1. A done deal doesn't always stay done.  I thought UEB was done with in the 
US back when NFB passed Resolutions 2002-04 and 2002-05.
2. I assume BANA is taking into consideration how the transition was and is 
going to be implemented in other countries, especially in Australia and New 
Zealand where the implementations are pretty much complete.  These two 
countries took a phased approach so that older students weren't confronted 
with a code change at critical points in their educational careers. 
Hopefully the more that parents, teachers, and braille learners themselves 
understand about the details, the better the individual decisions they can 
make as to timing.
3. To my knowledge no country other than the US has combined Nemeth math 
with UEB text so my guess is that the exact rules for how this is going to 
be implemented are still evolving and this is where the expertise of the 
Blindmath community will be helpful.  For example, the person who started 
this thread pointed out that there are questions about how best to integrate 
the use of Nemeth for displayed math with associated inline math references 
to that displayed math.

Sincerely,
Susan Jolly
