105 Proposed Update to UAX #14: Line Breaking Properties 2008.01.28
This proposed update for UAX#14 updates the description of linebreak classes with the line break properties in the beta version of the Unicode Character Database, version 5.0.1. The rules were updated to support the sequence <SHY, NBHY> for languages such as Polish and Portuguese. The conformance clause was updated to propose additional language on permissible higher level protocols. The entire text has been reviewed, and improved in a number of places, to make it easier to normatively reference this UAX from other specifications. Owners of other specifications (higher level protocols) are particularly encouraged to review this proposed update. Note: the line breaking rules for Ethiopic are under separate investigation.

Resolution: Closed 2008-02-11. The draft was approved with changes based on feedback and will be published as part of Unicode 5.1.0.

102 Proposed Update to UAX #15: Unicode Normalization Forms 2008.01.28
There is a Proposed Update to UAX #15, which specifies a new Normalization Process for Stabilized Strings. The key concept is that for a given normalization form, once a Unicode string has been successfully normalized according to that process, it will never change if subsequently normalized again, in any version of Unicode, past or future. This definition depends on an anticipated further tightening of the Unicode Stability Policies such that normalization of assigned characters will not change in future versions of Unicode. Details are in the proposed update itself.
Resolution: Closed 2008-02-11. The draft was approved with changes based on feedback and will be published as part of Unicode 5.1.0.

101 Proposal to Encode an External Link Sign 2007.05.08
The UTC has received a proposal to encode an EXTERNAL LINK SIGN as a character. The proposed symbol marks external links within web pages (i.e. links which lead to another site, contrary to internal links which lead to another page within the same site or domain). The submitted proposal itself is available for review, and some detailed questions for reviewers are presented in the background document.
Resolution: Closed 2007-05-29. This issue will be taken up by the symbols subcommittee to make recommendations in the context of their discussion of other symbols.

100 Giving U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT the ID_Continue Property 2007.01.30
The character U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT has the XID_Continue property, but not the ID_Continue property. It is the only character of this sort.

The UTC is considering removing this exception, thus making the set of XID_Continue characters a proper subset of ID_Continue characters. This would ensure that all valid identifiers defined using the XID_Start and XID_Continue properties would also be valid identifiers based on the ID_Start and ID_Continue properties.

The XID_Start and XID_Continue properties are improved lexical classes that incorporate the changes described in Section 5.1, NFKC Modifications of UAX #31. They are recommended for most purposes, especially for security, over the original ID_Start and ID_Continue properties.

In light of the use of MIDDLE DOT in encoding Catalan data, the UTC is soliciting feedback on this proposed property change for U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT.

Resolution: Closed 2007-02-15. The character U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT will be added to ID_Continue in the next version of the standard.
