--- Begin Message ---The Unicode Technical Committee has revised Public Review Issue #80, including the background document, and issued another proposed update of UAX #9. Details are on this page: http://www.unicode.org/review/ The closing date for this issue has been revised to January 30, 2006. Please see the page for links to discussion and relevant documents. Briefly, the issue is: 80 Proposed Update to UAX #9: The Bidirectional Algorithm The Unicode Bidi algorithm has allowed for a great deal of flexibility in determining which characters are to be mirrored (see HL6 http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/tr9-16.html#HL6). Unfortunately, that means that text that originates with one person may show up with the wrong graphic to another, thus causing the text to be misinterpreted. The proposal is to tighten up conformance by eliminating overriding of bidi mirroring, and at the same time extending the characters with the Bidi_Mirrored property. The UTC would like public feedback on whether to make this change, and which characters should have the Bidi_Mirrored property. The proposed change is to retain the set of characters currently having Bidi_Mirrored property, and add some additional characters with similar properties. For further information and character lists, see the background document for this issue. If you have comments for official UTC consideration, please post them by submitting your comments through our feedback & reporting page: http://www.unicode.org/reporting.html If you wish to discuss issues on the Unicode mail list, then please use the following link to subscribe (if necessary).
