FYI... Message original: ============================================================================== A: RNET (CA-JTC1-SC2@MICROSTAR.COM), ALB De: RNET (dobrien@idon.ottawa.on.ca) Objet: Character set in E-Mail Date: mer 28 sep 94 Heure: 16:31 TU Type: Mail Livraison: Reguliere ============================================================================== The message from Alain LaBont on character sets for E-Mail is quite important. The same debate has occurred in CCITT/CCIR in the past for the establishment of the special Teletext/Videotex/Teletex character sets. We don't want to establish a lowest common denominator that no one will use. It will only leave open code table positions that will be used differently. If we don't watch out we could be left only with five level BAUDO code. Canada should respond to the request from Mr.J. W. van Wingen with some hard evidence based on an experiment. The list of contriversial characters should be distributed across the Internet to several of the discussion groups relating to Internet protocols and their responses collected and submitted to ISO. With respect to the table: COMPLETE REPERTOIRE OF GRAPHIC CHARACTERS NOT INCLUDED 1994-09-26 IN THE INVARIANT PART OF ISO/IEC 646:1991 J. W. van Wingen Sorted to code char.
