1. General
(1.1) The scope should make clear that this DTR is applicable to XML or not. In particular, will this TR provide entity declarations using SDATA entities?
(1.2) Since different entity sets assign different UCS code values to the same names, it may well be too late to resolve such conflicts.
2. Technical
(2.1) The first para in Section 4:
This is not a standard but rather a TR.
(2.2) The first para in 4.2:
First, there is no one-to-one replationship between characters and glyphs. Some characters in 10646 do not have glyphs. Other characters have different glyphs depending on combining characters.
Second, this subsection merely expand parsed entities by replacing them with numeric character references. Since this expansion is a standard behaviof of SGML or XML processors, we do not understand why this subsection is present.
United Kingdom
Needs to be aligned with SC2 chagnes to USC character set.
