Agenda Topics

UAX #29 Review

<fsasaki> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2008Jan/0002.html

<fsasaki> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#grapheme-cluster

<fsasaki> "Note to Reviewers: The UTC debated whether or not to just change the definition of default grapheme clusters to encompass what is here defined as extended combining character sequences, but decided that it might pose a compatibility problem for implementations and standards using the older definition. Feedback on this issue would be welcome."

(discussion of whether dgcs and xcss's are what CSS3 wants)

felix: they've kept dgcs the same

but added xcss's

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/tr29-12.html

note: it's been edited recently (jan 11)

trying to figure out where "rule 9b" is defined... it appears to be a typo refering to 9a

they ought to change the name of section 3.1 to reflect that both DGC and XCSS is defined therein

andrew: the term "grapheme cluster" is used haphazardly in the document; not clear if one or both are meant

addison: intro change to remove grapheme cluster makes one of the changes inconsistent with unicode use of word "character"
... icu using this terminology change too: really confusing

<scribe> ACTION: all: UAX#29 review send to public-list ASAP [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/16-core-minutes.html#action05]

<scribe> ACTION: Richard: assemble our comments on UAX#29 for submission to UTC next week [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/16-core-minutes.html#action06]

<scribe> ACTION: Felix: draft email to UnicoRe list saying we have comments by (next week?) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/16-core-minutes.html#action07]

Where to discuss stuff?

richard: proposes using the www-international list for more discussion

winter list a bit underused these days

some discussion and concern about how to manage comments there

How to handle changes to BCP 47 ABNF

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2007Dec/0013.html

http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ltru/current/thrd5.html

removing the extlang production (which was reserved for future use) from the ABNF

felix; no statement about the stability of the ABNF

felix: might be a cause for concern and leaves a question about whether to refer to BCP47 or to a specific RFC 4646 (or a particular version successor)

<scribe> ACTION: Addison: send note to LTRU highlighting the ABNF stability issue and seeking resolution [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/16-core-minutes.html#action08]

Case Folding in CSS 2.1

this topic needs preparation

will defer to next week; addison to include in agenda with details

XML Schema 1.1 comments update

<fsasaki> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2007Dec/0017.html

the first they accepted

the second, on language tags, they are keeping the regex for xsd:language (basically the RFC 3066 structure)

doesn't need to say "successor", since using BCP fixes that

addison: could they recommend using 4646 (or later) "well-formed" ? this would promote the right behavior, even if they don't update the regex

felix: could go back to suggest this to them

<scribe> ACTION: Felix: respond to XML Schema 1.1, noting acceptance of resolution to comment #2 and suggesting the use of 'well-formed' as part of comment #1 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/16-core-minutes.html#action09]
