I didn't really understand until this morning that any proposal that doesn't have seven supporters by tomorrow will be out of the running. Right now, DUDE is the only ACE in the pool. If there is to be an alternative to consider, at least seven people must coalesce around some other proposal. I suggest AMC-ACE-Z: draft-costello-idn-amc-ace-z-00.txt (submitted, should appear soon) http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~amc/charset/amc-ace-z.gz Here is an analysis showing why AMC-ACE-Z is the best alternative to DUDE, and is arguably preferable to DUDE: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~amc/charset/ace-eval.gz If you wish to express support for AMC-ACE-Z, please send mail (very soon) to me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not to the list. Finally, please forgive me for soliciting support on the list. It would have been more proper for me to send mail privately to people I thought might be interested, but I'm not sure who those people are, and time is almost up. AMC
