Yes, I'm very aware of what it is calling for. (You've missed my voluminous
comments against it?)
My message was in relation to a sub-thread. I had made a particular
argument against UTF-8s having to do with a close reading of the
definitions in the standard; a rebuttal was given that UTF-8s and UTF-16 do
not differ in relation to the argument I made; I acknowledged that and had
conceded *that particular argument* as being invalid, but later was
reconsidering. I am opposed to this proposal, but I don't think it makes
sense at this time to try to make any case against it (or for it) using a
close reading of the definitions.
>Lets hope that UTF-8s also dies.
I do so hope.
