We > should consider the specification based on new technology ---AMC-ACE-Z. I have generally stayed out of the UTF-8 versus ACE debate, but the above statement cannot go unpunished. UTF-8 is a character encoding scheme for *every single code point* in ISO/IEC 10646. That means every character, upper- and lower-case, in every script, has its own UTF-8 representation. To say that UTF-8 does not preserve case distinctions is complete nonsense. It is the nameprep stage that folds away case distinctions (for better or worse). -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
