Hello,

Mark Davis and I developed a concrete, MIME-friendly version of the BOCU algorithm that we presented earlier (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/docs/papers/binary_ordered_compression_for_unicode.html).

We have a summary and spec with sample code at http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/conversion/bocu1/bocu1.html

     BOCU-1:
     A MIME-compatible application of the
     Binary Ordered Compression for Unicode base algorithm.

     "... BOCU-1 combines the wide applicability of UTF-8
     with the compactness of SCSU.
     It is useful for short strings and
     maintains code point order. ... stateful ..."

Feedback is welcome.

Best regards,
markus
