> The W3C Internationalization Working Group (I18N WG), with this 17

> This is a W3C Working Draft for review by W3C members and other
> interested parties. It is a draft document and may be updated, replaced,
> or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use
> W3C Working Drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than
> "work in progress". The W3C will not allow early implementation to

> final release. A list of current W3C Recommendations and other technical

>
> After last call comments have been addressed, the Working Group expects
> to advance this specification to Candidate Recommendation, and then to
> Proposed Recommendation together with XHTML 1.1, into which it will be
> included by reference. While the actual markup structure will not be
> changed at that point in the process, the I18N WG and the editors will
> make the necessary technical adjustments in notation if such adjustments
> become necessary as a consequence of changes to XHTML 1.1.

> Please send comments and questions regarding this document to

> to serve this document in various character encodings to cover a wide
