I think that some of the apathy is due to the lack of understanding in technical issues... Regarding my own opinions, I think that people tend to think that using multiple braille codes is hard when often it is only hard if it is taught in a way that makes it hard. (I have learned braille Hebrew, Nemeth, and music as well as English, French, and Spanish. I think that unifying the English braille code would create confusion for readers who need to do technical work, especially when working with older braille materials. No one is going to re-produce those materials in UEBC.
