My guess is that the list is a bit shorter, and grows a bit less quickly, but it's not a big difference, at least for the moment. > - why not have a predefined/enforced directionality in the specs for each > scheme? (ex. LTR for URLs) Schemes are independent of directionality. The same scheme name is used for URIs and for IRIs, with and without bidi characters. > Sorry if those issues have already been publicly discussed during my > absence, but I've been busy doing revolution here in Tunisia :) I think I remember seeing a name similar to yours somewhere in some news. I'm glad to hear again from you on this list. > I was very > pleased to see that the component based approach has been adopted for IRIs The component based approach has not yet been adopted. However, there is a growing realization that it might be the right thing to do (despite the fact that it has some drawbacks, too). So there is quite some chance that it will get adopted in the (near?) future. [Please note that Mark's document, as far as the IETF is concerned, does not have any standing at all. Sending the actual text to the mailing list, or submitting the document as an Internet-Draft would fix that.] Regards, Martin. > On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 1:22 AM, Mark Davis ☕<mark@macchiato.com> wrote: > >> Here are some rough thoughts on how we could handle bidi IRIs. >> >> http://goo.gl/QwSoo >> >> Feedback is welcome. >> >> Mark >> * >> * >> On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 23:20, Shawn Steele<Shawn.Steele@microsoft.com>wrote: >> >>> I'm wondering what the current thinking around BIDI IRIs is?
