For example, what about I think any text that does not refer to something that can be confused with a character encoding scheme would be better, for example, changing C076 [C] Content MUST NOT use a code point for any purpose other than that defined by its coded character set. This prohibits the construction of fonts that misuse e.g. iso-8859-1 to represent different scripts, characters, or symbols than what is actually encoded in iso-8859-1. to ... This prohibits the construction of fonts that misuse e.g. code points in the Basic Latin or Latin-1 Supplement range (U+0000-U+007F and U+0080-U+00FF) to represent different scripts, characters, or symbols than what is actually representable using these code points. would satisfy me. It could also be changed to This prohibits the construction of content that misuses code points in e.g. the Basic Latin Unicode range (U+0000-U+007F) to represent different scripts, characters, or symbols than what is actually representable using these code points by depending on a specific incorrectly constructed font. or something else as long as the "ISO-8859-1" bit is removed. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
