Comments on Charmod PR publications

Dear Internationalization Working Group,

  It seems that the latest versions of http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/ and
http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod-resid/ have been published in violation
with the current operative W3C Process document. The Process document
requires that all comments have been addressed by the Working Group, but
for example

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-comments/2004Apr/0020.html
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-comments/2003Aug/0000.html

have not been addressed at all. This also applies to some follow-up
comments such as

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-comments/2004Oct/0048.html

which has not been addressed either. I further note that the removal of
the entire section 7 of the Charmod LC document clearly invalidates my
review of the document as I've indicated in

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2004Apr/0007.html

and the removal is thus a substantive change which requires that the
document is returned to the Working Group for further work (which would
require publication of another LC WD to proceed). It further seems that
this change is not properly documented, the changes document states
something to this effect, but the note is marked up with <del> implying
that the LC document had this note but it did not.

Last but not least it seems that some promised edits have not actually
been made, e.g. in

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-comments/2004Oct/0040.html

I've been told that the prose text for C076 will be changed to discuss
something but character encodings but it still mentions "iso-8859-1"
which still does not make sense to me.

There is little that can be done about some of these issues (and there
are actually more but they are of less concern to me), but I want my
comments formally addressed by the Working Group and I thus hereby re-
submit all unaddressed comments (including but not limited to those
I've mentioned, I can't check them all right now).

regards.
