<br>
I am drafting a public comment about the initial report of the Latin<br>
Script Diacritics PDP. It has been open for comments for over a month<br>
already, my apologies for being a bit late here, but there's still a<br>
week to go, deadline is February 23.<br>
<br>
They are using a guided submission form, which makes it a bit hard to<br>
collaborate on the comment. I haven't yet arranged my ideas to fit<br>
that, but I'll get around to it.<br>
<br>
I don't have pretty, submission-ready text yet, but as time is short,<br>
here's roughly what I'm going to say:<br>
<br>
The main substantive thing is that they should allow characters that<br>
for purposes of DNS behave just as if they were diacritics even if<br>
they aren't by Unicode definition, like đ and ø.<br>
<br>
(Unicode definition does not agree with the original linguistic one,<br>
it was just convenient to use to save time in the WG. In any case here<br>
it's in effect just a proxy for "Latin extensions that are visually<br>
confusable with base ASCII characters".)<br>
<br>
I'm also going to comment about the requirement that the base ASCII<br>
version of the TLD is always needed (that is, you couldn't have<br>
things like .sjö and .sjó without also having .sjo).<br>
<br>
I'm also a bit uneasy about how the single-entity principle<br>
requirement is done, but maybe it won't be worth commenting on.<br>
<br>
I'll re-read the report in detail and may come up with other stuff to<br>
say, but probably nothing big.<br>
<br>
Anyway, any ideas about this would be welcome. Feel free to comment<br>
here or write to me directly, as you like. (I'll try to overcome my<br>
distaste for googlish things and make a shareable google doc to draft<br>
this on, but not today.)<br>
