trigraphs

[Scott David Daniels]

One fact that seems not to have come out yet is that trigraphs as added
by X3J11 were an existing scheme that was proposed for adoption, not a
new design that simply seemed to be a good idea.  I suspect that is part
of the problem with the Danish proposal: the trigraphs we voted on were
something that had been in use for a couple of years, whereas the Danish 
scheme sounded like "this would be an even better idea:...", very little
evidence there would be no nasty surprises later.
