        The debate seemed to focus on Western - and as I recall when debate stopped concensus seemed to be that both the 'Western as psuedo Latin' and 'Western as logographic' camps had a reasonable case for fitting the Gloranthan facts, and that it was currently a matter of taste with no hard evidence either way.

        That said, I'm firmly with David in the logographic camp myself.
