If by "implementation" you mean a suggestion for how Unicode should
encode this flag (single character, extension to the PRI #299 mechanism
similar to what Ken proposed, or something else), it might be a good
idea to summarize the options and choose at least one "preferred"
option.

As Mark Davis wrote [1], this list is not a venue for formally proposing
anything, and it's not safe to assume that UTC members have read this
list and have any background. If you want to state something, make sure
you state it in the proposal. You can quote and paraphrase list
discussions, but don't just insert links to the list archive.
