    <r12a>

    <r12a> Constraint validation: While the user interface is
    representing input

    <r12a> that the user agent cannot convert to punycode, the
    control is suffering

    <r12a> from bad input.

Counter Styles

    [23]http://www.w3.org/International/track/products/46

      [23] http://www.w3.org/International/track/products/46

    richard: believe these can be all closed
    ... hebrew number converter (which mati commented on)
    ... if you got to 2500 or something
    ... you add extra character until you get to quite a few of
    these
    ... kind of unhelpful
    ... mati proposed alternative
    ... to go in our Note
    ... solution was to limit number of counters to 2000 to prevent
    over-long strings
    ... actually, 3 browsers have implementred
    ... what mati suggested
    ... and none have done what is in spec
    ... so wrote to Tab to change spec
    ... and it's done now
    ... only open item is one of the complicated Ethiopian styles
    won't produce a counter for "1"
    ... haven't had a response from Tab yet
    ... otherwise close them all
    ... keep issue 282

    <scribe> ACTION: richard: inform CSS that we are satisfied with
    counter styles now (save for issue 282) [recorded in
    [24]http://www.w3.org/2014/02/13-i18n-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-286 - Inform css that we are
    satisfied with counter styles now (save for issue 282) [on
    Richard Ishida - due 2014-02-20].

    richard: number of issues with W3C test framework

    ... made a new architecture

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-287 - Pull together wiki page of the
    caseless matching problem, mining the past conversation with
    css plus charmod plus bug 16970 [on Addison Phillips - due
    2014-02-20].

    However, Anne, all of those identifiers are themselves ASCII
    only. That's what makes ACI acceptable there. For Unicode name
    spaces, I think I18N rightly would insist that, if case
    sensitive is not used, UCI is the the next appropriate choice
    and ACI I'd wholly unacceptable. However, case sensitive is
    usually our first recommendation and, as you say, recommending
    lowercase and consistent normalization. What would we be
    breaking if we did that though? Like[CUT]

charmod

    addison: need to fix poll
    ... use UTC or fix the poll to do time zones
    ... FPWD in about eight weeks?

AOB?
