FW: [IndexedDB] Spec changes for international language support

IndexedDBにおいて、国際対応を行うための仕様変更が議論されています。

Databaseにcollationのための言語設定ができればいいんじゃないか、という議論のようですが、列ごとじゃなくていいのか、そもそもIndexedDBに列があるのかも含めて私はあまり知らないので、識者の方のご意見をお願いしたいです。

すでに「言語だけじゃなくて、『ドイツの電話番号』のように国、言語、目的を設定できるべきだ」[1]などのフィードバックが付いていますので、英語のできる方は元のMLで直接議論いただけるとよいと思います。

難しいようであれば、ここで議論しても構いません。私はDatabaseはそれほど深くはないのでどこまで参加できるかわかりませんが、元MLに伝える努力はしてみます。

We discussed international language support last time at the TPAC and I said I'd propose spec text for it. Please find the patch below, the changes mirror exactly the proposal described in the bug we have for tracking this:
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9903


btw - the bug is assigned to Nikunj right now but I think that's just because of an editing glitch. Nikunj please let me know if you were working on it, otherwise I'll just submit the changes once I hear some feedback from this group.

Thanks
