Markus Scherer briefly presented this section of L2/25-006.
Mark Davis discussed the accumulated feedback on PRI #509. Feedback from ID20241206213148 has been addressed. Mark Davis noted that addressing feedback ID20241218024123 risks making the test data hard to read in most text editors, whereas bidirectional concerns are largely independent of link detection.
Discussion of ZWNJ.
The properties and algorithms group will discuss whether a list of Wikipedia pages with non-ASCII URLs should be included in the test data.
Mark Davis presented the Proposed Draft UTS #58, renamed to Unicode Link Detection and Serialization.
Discussion of versioning. Proposed Draft UTS #58 should be versioned as a synchronized UTS. While the draft data files may be adjacent to the draft, upon publication, the data files should be in the versioned directory.
[182-A58] Action Item for Asmus Freytag, Ken Whistler, PAG: In UTR #33, propose wording describing stable Unicode Technical Standards with synchronized data.
[182-A59] Action Item for Markus Scherer, PAG: Consider the future maintenance of the structure of data files in the versioned data directory, considering existing and new specifications that are synchronized with versions of Unicode.
The plan is to move this document to Draft status at UTC #183, and possibly to final publication at UTC #184, synchronized with 17.0. The draft should be updated to include the version 17.0.
