L2/99-053R

March 11, 1999

Moved by Davis, seconded by Becker

[#79-M1] Motion: After further consideration, the UTC stands by its previous decision not to encode SOFT SPACE at this time. We now understand that SOFT SPACE should not be unified with ZERO-WIDTH SPACE, but we do not have enough information to conclude that SPACE and ZERO-WIDTH SPACE used together are insufficient for Khmer. We do not have a specification for behavior of the SOFT SPACE character.
