L2/01-199 From: Misha Wolf [Misha.Wolf@reuters.com] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 2:06 PM UTC Agenda Item: Unicode N chars in XML names (N > 2) The W3C I18N WG requests input from the UTC on how the XML specification should be revised in regard to characters permitted in names. In particular, we would welcome input on: 1. Why a policy of "anything goes" would be good/bad? 1a. Why a policy of "anything except what the XML specification has already excluded" would be good/bad? 2. Why a policy of automatic linkage to versions of TUS (coupled with clear rules for choosing name characters) would be good/bad? 3. How a policy of automatic linkage to versions of TUS could work? 4. What the rules for choosing name characters should be? 5. What can be said, if anything, about the likelihood of suitable name characters in future versions of TUS? 6. Anything else the UTC can think of that would help resolve this matter. Please note that this matter is urgent and we would very much like an early response from the UTC. Many thanks, Misha Wolf W3C I18N WG Chair ----------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our Internet site at http://www.reuters.com Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of Reuters Ltd.
