Don't worry, then, contrarily to what I wrote. Alain LaBonté Québec ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Written on 1998-03-16, programmed to be sent automatically on 1998-03-20 ________________________________________________________________________ Today, I tried to tell SC2/WG2 that PDAM 22 to ISO/IEC 10646 would completely satisfy JTC1/WG5 requirement to encode keyboard symbols only if the proposal contained in SC2/WG2 N 1668R2 was included as a complement (PDAM 22 unifies function symbols "Delete" and "Clear Screen" which is OK only if proposal SC2/WG2 N 1668R2, which creates a combining SCREEN [and a combining KEYCAP, a good idea that goes beyond JTC1/WG5 requirements], is included with the FPDAM. The chair, Mike Ksar, and the editor, Bruce Paterson, said that we only had until March 31 to make this comment. Dr Uma and I agree that we should make it. So I recommend that we amend our vote in the folowing way : We vote YES (no change, we had voted YES without comment) on PDAM 22 with the following comment: The proposal of SC2/WG2 N 1668 R2 (or a more recent revison with enhanced glyphs) should be included in the FPDAM 22 to ISO/IEC 10646-1 to satisfy the requirements of JTC1/WG5 (ex-SC18/WG9), requirements that SC2/WG2 already had agreed to in previous years. A liaison statement to SC18/WG9 had been issued to that effect. SC2/WG2 has to be consistent with the decisions it took and which were announced to the exterior world. We understand that it had been overlooked and Canada requests this correction as a formality to complement its YES vote. Alain LaBonté Seattle
