Script is intimately related to charset and merely usefully related >to language. de facto script extend to much more. For example the need to support Greek characters is a must for math and scientific communities. There are the need to specify adapted scripts independently from the language. I know IDNs are banned, but we nevertheless need their Tables. A stupid question I have however is why (except for aged applications and for information) do we need scripts for applications? They are made of Unicode codes. Either the character is available or it is not? When is not a language side information or an independent information, used for different decisions (for choice and not for presentation). It seems reasonable to manage it separately, so we can use at a different times. Now, Addison may say this is a big problem for his XML. So what prevents to include it also in his XML lang3tag? As long as it can also be supported independently. I am always puzzled when one wants to hidde parameters and madatorily bundle them. jfc _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
