Mark,
Is case folding part of UCD 3.1? It also is part of the files submitted
with 3.1.
I noticed that there is no mention of the casing special case:
# Lithuanian
0307; 0307; ; ; lt AFTER_i; # Remove DOT ABOVE after "i" with upper or
titlecase
The case folding is locale-less so it seems to me the it is probably better
to remove the COMBINING DOT ABOVE after all 'i' / 'I' regardless of locale
to make it work for Lithuanian. I doubt that this will case serious
problems with caseless compares for other locales.
Also too late for 3.1 but you should consider for future versions:
Caseless compares are used for comparing charater values regardless of form.
You include some small forms but not all. For example small form variants
FE50-FE6F are not included.
Also not included are the small form Katakana vowels 30A1, 30A3, 30A5, 30A7,
30A9, 30C3,
30E3, 30E5, 30E7
I also seems to me that if folding is designed to produce essential
characters you should also fold halfwigth and fullwidth forms.
FF21; C; FF41; # FULLWIDTH LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
should be:
FF21; C; 0061; # FULLWIDTH LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
And
FF41; C; 0061; # FULLWIDTH LATIN SMALL LETTER A
Why do you only fold some persentation forms? You fold Latin and Armenian
ligatures FB00 - FB17 but FB1D to FDFF (Hebrew & Arabic) are not.
