There will always be an element of ambiguity since braille is not print. I
know BANA is trying to reduce these barriers between braille and print but we
can and should never expect braille to be print. As for the capitals, I have
always wondered how blind children in Britton learn what is to be capitalized
and what is not, because they surely need to know this when they go into the
job market.

But there are those who might say that the capital sign is not needed since
the reader should know which words get capitalized.
I guess 64 combinations are not sufficient, but the goal for Braille rules
should be to represent the print with no ambiguity.

If the rules were change so both single quote and apostrophe were dot 3, the
computer wouldn't have to distinguish between them--only the reader would.
