And... dots were used to mark numbers (since numbers were letters).
Exactly, I wasn't trying to correct anything, I was just trying to add more to the thread. Another use: some medieval scribes used dots to separate ingredients in medical recipes, sometimes instead of spaces and sometimes in addition to spaces, and those dots could be placed in the middle position as in Koen's example, or on the base-line.
I know that some of you here have spent a lot of time and effort thinking about the spacing in the VMS and the intention(s) of the scribe(s) and I think that that's a very good thing.
