Re: [idn] opting out of SC/TC equivalence
Hi ! Friends in this WG:
We have different culture and experiences and we should respect each
other ! I think John is concerned his duty and time limitation. I found
people in this WG they talk about foreign scripts or language characters as
it is their own mother language , and they care something so they worry some
case will happen and they applied some partial case to full situations,
that is a basic wrong .
In TC/SC characters, there are small set of equivalent characters
that are exactly the same situation as english case folding but if it is
neglected that will be more worse than other scripts, because there are many
sources of confusing troubles. Another set of equivalent word (content
sensitive equivalent characters) are not the case of case folding. But
someone try to cut or mixed them together to one simple class , then the
hurt will happen.
If your statements are meant John is the God father , so no one can
pass over the line he defined , I will ask what is the goal of this WG ?
Does it is used to hurt other people in this world ?
IDN is very complex , but if you try to neglect some truth then the
political issue will be introduced , then no one will be happy .
