UTS#10 (collation) : request for a new Separating mode for variable weighting (3.2.2)

2010-07-31 Thread Philippe Verdy
Something is not considered for now in UCA, the special behavior introduced with Variable Weighting (UTS#10 3.2.2 Variable Weighting) is too simplistic and quite confusive. First. The term chosen for the Blanked option is really confusive, when it does not mean that these variable elements are

In order to avoid confusions with the modes named Blanked or Separating, May be we could adopt a clearer general syntax for them: - Blanked - [] - Separating - [.0201*] - Shifted - [...*] This syntax explicitly states the collation weights that are inserted in variable elements, and

I can see the point to your wanting to have another option, but it is unclear to me whether sufficiently many people would find that useful as to warrant its inclusion. There is also nothing preventing implementations from supporting it even if it isn't in the UCA standard. In any event, before
