This issue is not unknown to Apple. Based on indications that I get from Apple
(which is none!) and based on few things that I know about the complexity of
this task, I think that interpreting Uniscribe contextualization in AAT
environment is not for anytime soon. Even if the next OS (and not the next
update) implements this interpretation, it will be full of bugs for quite some
time and we will regret not having that icon on menu bar!
This solution is a practical solution based on the reality. And I also fully
disagree about being inelegant. It's just a button that helps us out until
Uniscribe is fully interpreted... bug free.
