Re: [Idngwg] latest draft of the IDN Guidelines 4.0
by Mats Dufberg April 19, 2018

April 19, 2018

Friends, I am sorry for my absense on last meeting and in communication. I have looked at guidelines 12, 15 and 16. I think it is hard to add references to specific languages in a good way, so I suggest that 12 and 16 are kept as-is. When it comes to 15 the sentence "All code points in a single label must be taken from the same Unicode script" is problematic since it is very common to combine letter with European numbers or hyphen, and they come from another script (COMMON). I suggest that we add the following sentence at the end of 15: "This guideline also accepts the use of selected codepoints of Unicode script Common or Inherited when such code points are suitable for the language or Unicode script of the IDN table." The enclosed word file contains that update to draft 3.4. Talk to you in a while.
