[dsdl-discuss] Re: [Fwd: [xml-dev] Specifying a Unicode subset]

Hello Gustaf, my name is Ken and I'm a member of the ISO SC34 Document
Description and Processing Languages subcommittee.

Regarding your earlier post to xml-dev, the ISO 19757 Document Schema
Definition Languages (DSDL) http://dsdl.org project includes the
specification of the validation of a document against a set of constraints
on the character repertoire contained therein.

This is all in the formative stages and will be developed as Part 7 of the
multi-part International Standard.

You are welcome to join the comment list as a member of the general
public. Describing to us your needs in this area will be very valuable.

If you contact your national standards member body to ISO, you can be
accredited to the Subcommittee 34 (SC34) committee and become a
participating member in our Working Group 1 (WG1). This would allow you to
join the discussion list as an active member. We will welcome your
participation.

We hope you find this of some interest to your requirements for characters
in structured documents.

.................... Ken
