<apphillips> --- 

NOTA BENE:
<apphillips> links on the comments pages in left hand column points to itself.

<apphillips> http://www.w3.org/International/2005/charmod-edit/comments.html#ISO-URI-01 
<apphillips> editorial comment. 
<apphillips> --- 
<apphillips> NB> we won't have to bless CharMod again

<apphillips> MD: to populate the table with it when response goes out 
<apphillips> MD: to add Bjoern's comments into the table 
<apphillips> ---- 

[Normalization]

<apphillips> CharModNorm 
<apphillips> addison: summary of where I think we left off 
<apphillips> AP: to send links to last emails out 
<apphillips> (reminder) read CharReq document 
<apphillips> Need to decide if the old requirements still hold 
<apphillips> or if they need updates. 
<apphillips> two things: 1) how do we organize ourselves for success and 2) how is sucess defined? 
<apphillips> --- 
<apphillips> http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-charreq 
<apphillips> Martin: 
<apphillips> requirements talks about EUN 
<apphillips> makes a good case for motivating that 
<apphillips> how important is it for the infrastructure? 
<apphillips> more important for identifiers than for running text 
<apphillips> doc doesn't distinguish this and spec doesn't eiter 
<apphillips> spec deals with a lot of edge cases 
<Zakim> -Martin
<apphillips> FY: 2.1 and 4.1 are most important 
 
<apphillips> FY: 3.1 doesn't appear to be a requirement, but rather a solution

AP: we appear not to have met this requirement: :-P
<apphillips>  4.7 The String indexing specification shall be prepared quickly  
<apphillips> Several upcoming W3C specifications depend on a clear character model and in particular on clear definitions for string indexing. It is therefore crucial that no time is lost.  

<apphillips> RI: need a proposal 
<apphillips> AP: need to identify cases similar to identifiers 
<apphillips> (where normalization is a requirement) 
<apphillips> once EUN is out the window, then Late Normalization is the source of requirements 
<apphillips> FY:market has already gone there 
<apphillips> FY will try to take a pass through. 
<apphillips> FY:stylesheets and whatnot up to date? 
<apphillips> RI: to check 
<apphillips> (can check tomorrow)

It is not a feature.
