Dear All, A new version of draft-freytag-troublesome-characters-01.txt has been posted to the IETF repository. This standards track internet-draft aims to address the IAB Statement<https://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2015-2/iab-st...> and more. This has many code points Latin GP is considering in its variant analysis. You can send comments to i18n-discuss@iab.org<mailto:i18n-discuss@iab.org>.

Diff:https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-freytag-troublesome-characters-01 Abstract: Unicode's design goal is to be the universal character set for all applications. The goal entails the inclusion of very large numbers of characters. It is also focused on written language; special provisions have always been needed for identifiers. The sheer size of the repertoire increases the possibility of accidental or intentional use of characters that can cause confusion among users, particularly where linguistic context is ambiguous, unavailable, or impossible to determine. A registry of code points that can be sometimes especially problematic may be useful to guide system administrators in setting parameters for allowable code points in an identifier system, and to aid applications in creating security aids for users. regards, Sarmad
