A number of properties are typed as having <character> values: "character", "grouping-separator", and "hyphenation-character". <character> is described as being a single Unicode character, in Section 5.11. However, the property description for fo:character embellishes this rather terse description, and says that a <character> specifies "the code point of the Unicode character to be presented". To me this pretty clearly means a specification of form U+xxxx. With the other 2 properties this distinction is not made; we are left with the idea that a Unicode character, as opposed to a codepoint (or code value; the integer in other words), will be used. That is, if someone wished to use a 3-octet UTF-8 encoded value that would seemingly be OK. "grouping-separator" is defined wrt XSLT, where it is a single instance of the XML 'Char' production, that is, a Unicode character, either UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded (at a minimum), or specified as #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]. So our (myself and Eric Bischoff) question is, what have other implementors elected to use? Thanks for any input.
