That is why i cc'ed this bug to lohit-devel to get comments from active
contributors. Thanks Shriramana for detailed comment.

Yes Lohit is default font in World Wide distributions so we have to follow
international standards i.e. Unicode.

Same time if possible we do support locale specific things not defined in
Unicode but in local govt.

In this case i do not see any chance to do customized changes specific to ta_IN
locale. As Open Type only support lang code i.e. "TAM" not lang_contry TAM_IN
code.

We should wait to get some consensus between Tamil Govt. defined standard and
Unicode standard.

@Srikanth between how Wikipedia handle this, language wise or language_country
wise? i think its language wise, so this problem is application to
ta.wikipedia.org as well :)
