Just to keep things interesting, the Braille Authority of North America
decided last year, I believe it was, that the term "uncontracted braille"
should replace the term "Grade 1 braille" and "contracted braille" should
replace "Grade 2" braille!
One of the results of that decision is now any blind guy who wants to read
the text of his employment agreement in braille can read an uncontracted
contract!
Right, this message comes under the "Eschew Obfuscation" category!

P. S. Anybody else old enough to remember Grade 3 braille?
P. P. S. In an attempt to bring this thread just slightly back on topic,
our GOODFEEL Braille Music Translator can produce uncontracted or contracted
English braille. It ships with .ini files which a knowledgeable user can
revise to build his own "poor man's" literary braille translator. It'll
never be Duxbury but it works fairly well.
