Hello list,

definition C12a of Unicode Standard Version 4.0 mentions so "mangled" text
caused by folding (last paragraph of C12a).

Having the definition in mind (italic text at the top of C12a) I understand
mangled text as ill-formed text, that is not according to table 3-6. Would
you agree/disagree?

Further, what about combining character sequences? Inserting a CRLF between a
base character and a combining charcter or between one of the combining
characters would not produce an ill-formed byte-sequence. Would you
agree/disagree? (As every specification that requires folding does also
require unfolding, this would probably be more a semantic issue.)

tia,

Oliver
