Since the list seems to be a bit slow on substantive issues, may I ask a
few questions for clarification please.
Q1 on unification of abstract characters. If abstract character x is
unified with abstract character y, and the use of abstract character x is
thereby deprecated or discouraged, am I correct in assuming abstract
character x would be unlikely to have a glyph representation associated
with it in a type font designed for use with Unicode?
If this is a false assumption, are both abstract characters represented by
glyphs which are distinctly different?
If this is a correct assumption, what alternatives are available for the
glyph representation of abstract character x (the unified abstract
character) in text discussing the differences and variations between the
two abstract characters?
Q2 in partial comment on draft-masinter-url-i18n-08.txt which arrived in at
an opportune time, is there an editing tool which distinguishes U+0020 and
U+00A0 visually for "end-users" and which does NOT use "smart" logic to
insert U+00A0 into text, i.e., has a user-controlled option to prohibit the
insertion of U+00A0 unless explicitly specified by the user?
