Has anybody ever tried to reserve space from under the URN section of the URI space, or some other formally immutable/idempotent space, for Unicode characters? I'm reasonably sure that should be done, sooner or later. RDF loves URI's with clear cut semantics, after all. I also think quite a number of us possess an OID prefix (and as such a formal URN one by extension), or something to that effect. I do for example. So why don't we park the characters in one such namespace for a while, and formally reserve a namespace for them in the short future? Both IETF and ISO would likely be cooperative with that sort of thing, especially since the Unicode codespace is sanctioned by both, and is purposely being held very stable. (If you can't find any better, formally sanctioned namespace, do take over urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.12798.1.2049.5(.x) as an interim measure. Adjuncting the character index to something like that should be easy enough. ;) -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - decoy@iki.fi, http://decoy.iki.fi/front +358-50-5756111, 025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2
