I think that B-Greek transliteration is a perfect way of sharing greek texts
with people using different operative systems, e-mail clients, browsers...
What would we get using Unicode if we all could use it? In my case I use Mac
(Classic) not MacX and I think there's no e-mail client supporting Unicode.
Reading B-Greek e-mail using web-based e-mail or the archives would be very
difficult if not impossible for me. If Unicode were adopted I would
appreciate that B-Greek transliteration were also included.
