I wonder whether anyone here has considered the Unicode matters currently up for public review, and how they do or do not impact Java. Their closing dates are coming up on us quickly, and several of them definitely bear discussion:
http://www.unicode.org/review/ No. Title Closing Date 177 Proposed Update UTS #46: Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing 2011.05.02 178 Collation Rules for Non-Latin Scripts in Unicode CLDR 2011.05.02 179 Changes to Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines 2011.05.02 180 Addition of Address Form Data to Unicode CLDR 2011.04.26 181 Changing General Category of Twelve Characters 2011.05.02 182 Proposed Update UTS #18: Unicode Regular Expressions 2011.05.06 At the very least, PRI numbers 179 and 182 have several aspects that seem relevant to Java. Has anyone else investigated these? Shall I launch a discussion thread that summarizes my findings on these? --tom
