My comments on the list proposed:<br><br>>Do I see a consensus on this list that I should remove rule 2?<br>Yes, #2 needs to be removed -- many of these are required for modern languages.*<br><br>>Do I see a consensus on this list that I should also include Lm and Nd? (Then rule 4 can be removed.)
<br>Yes, #3 needs to be expanded by adding Lm -- again, many of these are required for modern languages.*, **<br><br>In addition, <br>#1 needs to be removed -- there are many modern languages that use IPA characters.*<br>
#6 should be 'casefolded' (this almost completely the same as lowercase, but there are a few important exceptions)<br><br>* It would be possible to sift through to see which are only
technical, and which are used in modern languages, but as a class they can't be excluded.<br>** There are pluses and minuses to adding Nd as well; <br><br>I'd then recommend a slightly different formulation, because it is unclear when you have rule X saying 'ok' and rule Y saying 'not ok' which one wins. So I'd recast as a series of additions and removals; thus the later one 'wins'. Then the rules would be written as:
<br><br>0. Start with the empty set.<br>1. If generalCategory(cp) is [Ll, Lo, Lm, Mn, Mc], add cp<br>2. If NFKC(cp) != cp, remove cp<br>3. If casefold(cp) != cp, remove cp<br>4. If cp is in [-A-Z0-9], add cp<br><br>Mark<br>
