Subject: Re: UTF-8S ???
What is this UTF-8S please? The term showed up on
linux-utf8@nl.linux.org in
http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2001-06/msg00037.html
without any link to a proposal document. Google and Altavista don't know
the term either. The unicode@unicode.org archive on
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MailArchive/
is utterly useless, because it provides only compressed batches of
ancient submissions, not one URL per posting in real-time as one would
hope from any quality mailing list archive such as e.g.
http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
Please do not forget to *always* include the original document URL or
similar introductory information to cross-posts to other lists! Cut &
paste of URLs really isn't that difficult, so make a habit of it,
please!
So is this UTF-8S something useful, or just yet another
political-correctness exercise like UTF-32 was?
