Re: [ISSUE-109]: disambiguation ITS 2.0 requirements w.r.t Indian [Indic] languages [ACTION-418]

Hi Somnath,
thanks you for your response. Your input into best practices would be 
warmly weclome by the group. i think this would split into two potential 
parts;
1) producing a best practice for NIF usage in the context of typical 
workflows that would use ITS
2) if during (1) the expressiveness of NIF was found wanting, you may 
want to engage directly with the NIF community.

I'd ask Felix and Sebastien Hellman to also comment on the best route to 
advancing ITS2.0 best practice in this area, - Felix we don't currently 
have a stub for best practice in relation to NIF on the wiki, so should 
we start one?

Regards,
Dave
