From: chairs-request@w3.org On Behalf Of Ivan Herman Sent: Monday, 22 November, 2004 8:58 To: W3C Advisory Committee Cc: chairs@w3.org; Martin Dürst; Richard Ishida; Philippe Le Hégaret Subject: Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Resource Identifiers is Candidate Recommendation (Call for Implementations) W3C is pleased to announce that Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Resource Identifiers is a W3C Candidate Recommendation. The approval and publication is in response to the request posted to the Chairs mailing list: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2004OctDec/0053.html The disposition of Last Call comments is available starting at: http://www.w3.org/International/Group/2004/charmod1-lc/SortBySection#LC035 There were no formal objections for the part of the Last Call document covered by this publication. Patent disclosures relevant to this specification may be found on the Internationalization Working Group's patent disclosure page in conformance with W3C policy: http://www.w3.org/International/2002/Disclosures ============================================== Quoting from the Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Resource Identifiers W3C Candidate Recommendation - 22 November 2004 ============================================== Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Resource Identifiers W3C Candidate Recommendation - 22 November 2004 This version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-charmod-resid-20041122 Last version: http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod-resid Previous version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-charmod-20040225 (prior to document split) Abstract -------- This Architectural Specification provides authors of specifications, software developers, and content developers with a common reference for the use of resource identifiers building on the Universal Character Set, defined jointly by the Unicode Standard and ISO/IEC 10646. For topics such as use of the terms character, encoding and string, a reference processing model, choice and identification of character encodings, character escaping, and string indexing, see Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals. For normalization and string identity matching, see Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Normalization. Status of This Document ----------------------- This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/. This document is a Candidate Recommendation of the W3C. This document has been produced by the W3C Internationalization Working Group (I18N WG, http://www.w3.org/International/Group/) (Members only), with the help of the Internationalization Interest Group, as part of the W3C Internationalization Activity. Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress. Section 3 of this document was formerly Section 7 of the Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-charmod-20040225/) Last Call Working Draft published 25 February 2004. A more detailed change log is given in Appendix C, Changes. The I18N WG invites comments on this specification. Comments should be submitted by email to www-i18n-comments@w3.org (public archive at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-comments/). Please send one email per comment where possible, otherwise number comments clearly. The WG is soliciting implementation reports on this specification and related technology. The WG plans to submit this specification for consideration as a W3C Proposed Recommendation as soon as the following conditions are met: 1) The document Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) is published as an RFC in IETF Proposed Standard status. 2) There is a test suite that tests the use of IRIs along at least the following axes: a) use of IRIs in several document formats; b) use of IRIs in several locations in the same document format; c) use of non-ASCII characters in different parts of an IRI (e.g. domain name part, path part); d) use of IRIs in documents with various widely used character encodings and with characters from various scripts; e) use of document-specific escapes in IRIs; f) use of IRIs with various URI schemes; g) setup of various servers for IRIs; h) the translation of IRIs into URIs. 3) For each of the abovementioned axes, there are at least two implementations passing the applicable tests. 4) The WG has responded formally to all issues raised against this document. The WG is expecting that this will take at least until 15 January 2005, but possibly longer.
