It would have been the official alternative orthography if JCB had agreed to
a rapprochement.  Since what we have is unofficial tolerance and some
mild cooperation, its status is "in limbo".

It will probably be printed in the front matter of the dictionary, marked
"unofficial", along with Ivan's Cyrillic orthography (which is too simple to
explain, except to state that /y/ is represented by the hard sign, and /'/ by
the soft.)
