(laughing) I just had several days of that lecture from Tom in Oman. That said, while I have to agree with the sentiment (but then: who claims that plain text Latin represents "good typography" either, eh?), I do have to point out that initial/medial/final/isolate is a _useful _ rough approximation for talking about that script. @klensin Carefully reading your comment, I have fixed _or Cyrillic_ to _and Cyrillic_. I also fixed the spelling error (thank you for pointing it out). @klensin Also in careful re-reading, whether I agree or disagree with those scholars, I suspect that this is out-of-scope for our document. We're describing text comparison as it exists in the Unicode encoding model. Case variation is a distinct part of the encoding model and is inherent in every programming language I can think of. Arabic presentation forms are actually covered by Unicode Normalization. We might wish to add an example of the same. In addition, though, this brings to mind a different issue with the section on string searching (presence or absence of Arabic short vowels). I will open a separate issue for that item. Having addressed the editorial issues, I will close this item. Please reopen if not satisfied. -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues/67#issuecomment-186550885 using your GitHub account
