RE: Your comments on the Character Model [C080-C086, C090-C100, C102-C105, C107-C111]

Hello Yin-Leng,

Thankyou for coming back to us on the point below.  We have revisited
the issue and made some further changes to the document based on your
remarks.   We have added the following explanation to the Last Call
Comment Table: 

=======
Decision: Accepted. We understand the concern. 

Action: Text has been reworded "There is also a need, often satisfied by
the same or similar mechanisms, to express characters not directly
representable in the character encoding chosen for a particular document
or program (an instance of the markup or programming language)."
========

Please let us know if this resolves your issue.

Best regards,
Richard.
