With reference to named collections, Canada recommends that named collections which correspond to ISO/IEC 10646 collections be identified by the ISO/IEC 10646 collection name and number. Further, Canada recommends

  • that ISO/IEC 10646 be referenced normatively in ISO/IEC 19757-7
  • that the establishment of named collections should be done in consultation with ISO/IEC/JTC1 SC2.
  • formally recognize ISO/IEC 10646 collections and collection names and ids and the Collection Registry as candidates for named collections
  • Formally recognize the IANA charset registry and the labels and collections derivable for each label as candidates for named collections
  • the editors and WG1 explore if the IANA charset registry, http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets should be the source of collection labels and associated definitions instead of the referenced collections document from IANA. The charset registry has the added advantage of having the list of character identifiers associated with each of the encodings in the form of Uxxxxxxx (10646 char ids). The IANA charset labels should be another source for collection names.

Technical comments

(1) Drop grapheme clusters

Defer the support of grapheme clusters to Version 2. Even if it is dropped, typical european repertoires can be supported by using composed forms.

(2) Introduce foreign elements and attributes using NVDL

Allow foreign attributes for all elements and allow foreign elements for all elements. Introduce an attribute to ref, kernel, hull, and collection elements so that they do not need text contents.

Introduction

Par 5

te

Please be consistent with terminology of ISO 10646 on repertoires, eg on the term “exact description”. Is it the same as a “fixed collection” of ISO 10646?



NO

2


te

References to non ISO or IEC standards need clearance. Have these been obtained? Please note that terminology of non-ISO/IEC standards differ from ISO/IEC standards.



NO

3


te

The ISO 10646 term “collection” does not include Unicode grapheme clusters.

Please delete “or Unicode grapheme clusters” or use a different name for the term.


NO

3


te

The term “character” is not the same in IS 10646 and Unicode. Pl

ease use the ISO/IEC definition, as the term is ambigeously defined otherwise, and we need to be consistent with other ISO/IEC standards.


NO

3


te

We propose that terms that are used in this standard is based on other ISO standards.

eg the term “Unicode grapheme cluster” should be defined in terms of ISO 10646 only, and the term defined in clause 3.


NO

8.2.



te

That the regular expression definition varies from ONE Unicode version to another makes it difficult to use in an ISO standard.

It would be better to define the regular expression in this standard.
