Fine with me. However, I guess Yves would have to update the requirements document since he (from my understanding) is working on
this anyhow.

Best,
C.

What you wrote is worded very similar to the other requirements in the requirements document, see
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-itsreq-20051122/
. How about putting your paragraph into that document? At http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.html#introductio
n
, we have a link to requirements which are not addressed yet.

I would strongly disagree with putting that text, namely about a not-addressed requirement, in the last call draft. There are many
people who will just beat us up saying "what is your concept of last call"?

Regards, Felix.
