Re: [idn] Which lanuages/scripts to reorder?



Erik,

It is an assumption that this WG will actually produce something, which is
why "if any" appears twice in the first line of my remarks.

I appreciate the concern you expressed. I also appreciate that the question
"is IDNA/Nameprep/ACE enough?" can be answered in the negative, without the
reordering, even in the context of an ACE framework.

Restating the cautionary statement may helpful:

	Because an additional reordering request may be made for some
	as yet unspecified block of code-points, rough consensus for
	the reordering a specified block of code-points is undesireable.

This doesn't seem like prudent process. An alternative statement is:

	Because additional reordering requests will be made for some
        as yet unspecified blocks of code-points over time, rough
	consensus for a version identifier is desireable.
