-----------------------------------

Editor: As it stands, the proposed change would
a) delete the entry for 泄 (even though 泄 is used as a traditional character), and
b) create a duplicate entry for 洩,
... neither of which is desirable (or even possible, in the case of (b)).

* * *

Even though we might now call 泄 a variant of 洩 rather than the other way around, there are, in Taiwan, certain words that are normally written using 泄 rather than 洩.

For example, 排泄物 is rarely written with 洩.
