Hi!
Looks like David was quoting me. I am working on Babylon and wanted to make
clear that it is not unicode conformant as its API uses 32bit wide characters
which violates clause 1 of Section 3.1. Babylon can im-/export UTF-8/16/32
(UTF-7 is in the works) though, so I'm aiming for 'unicode compliant
interchange of 16bit Unicode characters' with Babylon. For more details
please see pages 107/108 of the Standard.
I was not implying that Unicode can't coexist with 32bit wide characters, nor
that it has any problems with C++... maybe I should have soemone who speaks
better english then I do write my announcements in the future. Sorry for any
misunderstandings I might have caused.
