https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26693 Martin Dürst <duerst@it.aoyama.ac.jp> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED CC| |duerst@it.aoyama.ac.jp Resolution|FIXED |--- --- Comment #4 from Martin Dürst <duerst@it.aoyama.ac.jp> --- The first paragraph now reads: "Unicode is the universal alphabet and utf-8 is its encoding. This specification turns that into a requirement for new protocols and formats, as well as existing formats deployed in new contexts." The first sentence reads as if it's from a religious document. It would be great if we could avoid this impression. What about something like "The universal alphabet Unicode and its encoding utf-8 are indispensable for interoperability." ? The "that" in the second sentence is unclear because there are two referents (Unicode and utf-8). What about changing "This specification turns that into a requirement" to "This specification requires utf-8" ? The last paragraph (of the preface) ends with "and thereby renders the registry irrelevant.". I don't care whether we say "obsolete" or "irrelevant", but we need to qualify the range of that statement. We already had various text proposals for this qualification, but apparently they got dropped. What about "and thereby renders the registry irrelevant for specifications, implementations, and content adhering to it." or some such? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
