UTC/1999-002 "Lloyd Honomichl" on 01/26/99 10:08:41 AM Subject: UTC 3.0 draft comment Chapter 2 Page 17, para 3: The characterization of U+0080 - U+07FF as "most non-ideographs" is incorrect. There are surely more non-ideographs outside this range than inside it. Page 17, para 5: UCS-8 should be UTF-8 Page 25, para 7: "Doing so would indicate that there was an empty paragraph or line following". I have always thought that para/line separators marked the end of a para/line. This statement seems to imply a para/line must start with one. Later in the paragraph it states "The line separator can be used to indicate an unconditional end of line." This seems to indicate it occurs at the end, not the beginning. This whole topic seems to need work. "The paragraph separator can be inserted between paragraphs of text." What if its between a paragraph and a non-paragraph? Between two non-paragraphs. What is a paragraph? Chapter 5 Page 92, paragraph 3: Not sure it this is a technical correction or not. The decompositions in the database are not necessarily maximal. Reading from the current read me for the database: Character Decomposition. In the Unicode Standard, not all of the decompositions are full decompositions. Recursive application of look-up for decompositions will, in all cases, lead to a maximal decomposition. The decompositions match exactly the decompositions published with the character names in Chapter 7 of the Unicode Standard. This field is normative. so yes, "The Unicode Standard provides a table of normative spellings (maximal decompostions) ...", but this could be misleading. Page 104, after paragraph 1: There is a "(2" at the right margin. Why? Where is "(1"?

Diaresis is not a character. Not is umlaut. Page 310: Umlaut: Same comment Page: 1 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Normal.dot
