[dsdl-discuss] Fw: Re: Response to rest of Martin's comments

Rick

Your earlier statement in response to my:
>>A) The origin of any names for character set blocks used, whether
>user-defined or from a standard, needs to be explicitly stated, and not
>implied as at present.
of
>See above. There are no user-defined block names.
worried me greatly. Going back to the Philadelphia notes this morning I note
recorded there the clear statement under the heading of Comments on Part 7
reading:

"Part 7 should be restricted to creating named character sets using block
names, ranges, and properties as defined in Unicode database, and should not
be concerned with things like sorting, UC/LC mapping, etc. For private use
characters the text should only refer to the code points, not define any
properties of the characters."

I must ask that some means be found of honouring this demand to allow the
creation of user-defined named character sets, if only by allowing reference
to user-defined set defined using Martin Duerst's 2000 W3C note on defining
character sets by referencing URLs with specific IDs that uniquely reference
a set.
