Charter changes and a possible new direction

[Martin Duerst]

A specific comment on Paul's draft:

In section 3, it says:

   | 3) If a string contains any RandALCat character, a RandALCat
   |   character MUST be the first character of the string, and
   |   either a RandALCat character or NSM charcter MUST be the
   |   last character of the string.

That should be fixed to read as follows:

   | 3) If a string contains any RandALCat character, a RandALCat
   |   character MUST be the first character of the string, and
   |   the string must end with RandALCat, possibly followed by
   |   one or more NSM charcters.

or some such. We don't want strings that e.g. end with an NSM
character that's preceeded by a digit or so.

Regards,   Martin.
