Unicode leaves it to typographical preference. So both are right. TamilNadu
Govt standard restricts to only one form. Since its a question of preference
and even as per Unicode, the preference is only different in Srilanka, where as
Tamil Nadu, Singapore, Malaysia  fall in same line for this case. So its not
that we need to wait for concensus between Unicode and Tamil Govt, but me and
Shriramana need to have concensus :)

Wikipedia community is small and hence there has not been divisions, but
elsewhere (like wordpress http://ta-lk.wordpress.org/ ) there have been
specific language_country efforts. :)
