Two Drafts Published by the Internationalization (i18n) WG

The Internationalization Working Group has published two Working Drafts:

Character Model for the World Wide Web: String Matching and Searching. This document builds upon Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals (CHARMOD) to provide authors of specifications, software developers, and content developers a common reference on string identity matching on the World Wide Web and thereby increase interoperability.

Indic Layout Requirements. This document describes the basic requirements for Indic script layout and text support on the Web and in Digital Publications. These requirements provide information for Web technologies such as CSS, HTML, and SVG about how to support users of Indic scripts. The current document focuses on Devanagari, but there are plans to widen the scope to encompass additional Indian scripts as time goes on.
