As Mark says, TR46 is 3 things: 1) Different treatment for the 4 deviations (ZWJ, ZWNJ, eszett, sigma) 2) Allowance of non-letters 3) A mapping, e.g. casefolding The use of a mapping such as the one defined in 3) is permitted by IDNA2008; I would expect that mapping to continue being used indefinitely, as a valid part of the system. So are you asking about when we should drop 1) and 2)? We should consider the option of not tying the two together. Gerv
