I think, word "classic" here would be misleading.
This qualifier of the aforementioned orthography is self-awarded and is inaccurate by any definition, as both qualifier
and orthography aren't used or recognized as such by anybody excepting rather minor minority.
I'd suggest naming this be_BY@alternative. This would be 100% accurate per all definitions of "classic" and
"alternative", pertain accurately to the goals of the mentioned minority movement, and there's a precedent of the
usage of the term "alternative" in this part of the world (DOS Cyrillic codepages in late 1980-s).
Also, you won't have a problem with multitude of "alternatives" as there seems to exist now some kind of standard
on this alternative.
Yes, I was participating in aforementioned discussion and No, I won't re-start the discussion *here*, unless asked
for further explanations. However, feel free to contact me privately via e-mail, if needed or interested.
