addison: UAX50 Do we need to discuss?
14:17:23 [David]
r12a: Short summary useful
14:18:25 [David]
r12a had a response from ??? . They wish to change character properties for some in vertical text. Wrote to ???. Onl y concern that W3C should have a mention.
14:18:51 [addison]
s/???/Kida-san/
14:18:53 [David]
r12a: Can we publish it as a joint document? What does that mean?
14:19:21 [David]
r12a: Naming w3C as a source doesn't seem like a problem.
14:19:35 [David]
addison: Who would we reply to?
14:19:59 [David]
r12a: it is only a change proposal for unicode.
14:20:14 [David]
addison: no objection to it coming from us or them.
14:20:28 [David]
addison: What value does the CITC add?
14:21:00 [David]
r12a: Having both orgs would be useful for the Japanese market
14:21:27 [xfq]
s/CITC/CITPC (Coded character-sets Information Technology Promotion Council)/
14:21:33 [David]
atsushi: CITPC has many companies as members, so this could be a Japanese side issue.
14:22:29 [David]
r12a: Kida-San thinks it would be good to be formally reviewed and also by the CLReq people.
14:22:45 [addison]

r12a: everyone look at it when I send it, please.
14:23:54 [David]
xfq: has discussed some changes in this request. e.g. full width semi-colon. Main difference is fallback in simplified Chinese
14:24:42 [David]
xfq: This mainly a problem of mapping to the Adobe Japan character collection. People generally agree with the changes, but this in not the final draft.
14:25:08 [David]
xfq: will share the final draft. This hasn't been shared with JLReq
14:25:27 [David]

14:29:06 [David]
addison: 1 formal request is needed. Whoever sends it, if we are sending, then we need to approve it.
14:29:45 [David]
addison: There is strength to a Japanese org sending it. UTC will look at the factual arguments, whatever the source.
14:30:01 [David]

addison: grammar and directionality are not addressed.
14:45:15 [David]

14:56:43 [David]
addison: I have a pull request against it
14:58:02 [addison]
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/7003#pullrequestreview-744095972
14:58:34 [David]
addison: discussion of wording at the bottom
14:59:40 [David]
r12a: You added "language appropriate case folding". Did you mean case conversion?
15:00:04 [David]
r12a: I don't think there is a difference by language?
15:00:22 [David]
addison: What about a string search that is language sensitive.
15:01:08 [David]
r12a: there are some features like ignoring accents. The thrust is you need to normalise and case fold
15:01:37 [David]
addison: In turkish you would lose linguistic information with a more promiscuous match.
15:02:13 [David]
addison: Language appropriate case folding could map by language.
15:03:24 [David]
addison: This is the purpose of CharMod, hence needing a document on searching strings and implementitions.
15:04:24 [David]
r12a: We are mathching user input against a values. Is this string matching or string searching. i.e do you want to know if 2 strings match.
15:05:25 [David]
addison: values should be filtered by substrings in the list. Then there are different to types of mathching e.g. accents kana/kana matching
15:05:58 [David]
addison: we are adding "beware of the complexity of searching".
15:06:50 [David]
addison: One working group in the past was working on Find. We poitned out many issues, unless it is purely string matching (maybe case insensitive).
15:07:13 [David]
r12a: complexity could come with an esset for example.
15:07:42 [David]
jck: this could be entering dangerous territory, whether ours or HTML's
15:07:57 [David]
r12a: We go for a permissive approach
15:08:14 [David]
jck: This could cause problems
15:08:55 [David]
jck: This was what early Unicode talked about string mathching after folding.
15:09:28 [David]
addison: User interaction will provide ???
15:09:50 [David]
r12a: I've added custom smarter matched to Uniview
15:10:11 [David]
jck: that's a different matter to case folding
15:10:46 [David]
r12a: if you type in Benin, with an e acute, should that match the ASCII Benin
15:11:02 [David]
jck: forcing to ASCII is unreasonable
15:11:17 [David]
r12a: more likely the other way around
15:11:42 [David]
r12a: case folding is not a good place to start for string mathching
15:12:01 [David]
addison: for tokens it is fine
15:12:20 [David]
addison: that is the responsibilty of CharModNorm
15:12:45 [David]
jck: even for identifiers there are issue with case sensitive environments.
15:12:45 [addison]
https://w3c.github.io/string-search/
15:13:08 [David]
r12a: maybe case folding doesn't belong in this HTML spec
15:14:03 [David]
addison: In a find command, there is normally an option to be case insensitive, or not. But you might need to be language sensitive manner.
15:14:39 [David]
r12a: This is case mapping. You do the language tailoring for here.
15:16:04 [David]
addison: string search doc in the link above. It was moved out of Charmod to keep for later. This is an example of it is really hard to describe than it looks. We need to write clearer specs, so we can identify the problems.
15:16:27 [David]
jck: Clearer explanation of ??? would be very helpful.
15:16:53 [David]
addison: Original intent was to warn of the complexities.
15:17:12 [David]
r12a: does not think the Charmod Reference is useful.
15:18:08 [David]
r12a: We need a searching document to point people at. Following this discussion this is about case matching not case folding. We don't want them to case fold.
15:18:49 [David]
addison: It would be reasonable to have a case insensitve search, but warn of the challenges.
15:19:05 [David]
r12a: that's case mapping, not case folding
15:19:26 [David]
addison: it is case matching or caseless matching that we are interested in.
15:20:06 [David]
addison: Shall I remove the sentence about normalisation and case folding?
15:20:34 [David]
r12a: normalisation is important, but I think we should tale out case folding.
15:21:02 [David]
r12a: We may need to mention case equivalence
15:21:17 [David]
addison: I'll edit again for that.
15:21:36 [David]
r12a: I will review later
