Re: [idn] draft about Tradition and Simplified Chinese Conversion[version01]

["James Seng/Personal" <jseng@pobox.org.sg>]

Prof Tseng,

1. AFAIK, JP does not want to match JSC-JTC pairs (if such pairs exists
or such table can even be constructed).

2. I do not see how JP can benefit from 1,2,3 since TC-SC pairs existed
in the tables is based on Chinese simplification process, not Japanese.
In fact, I see JP (and KR) been affected by these TC-SC pairs unless we
remove all characters used in kanji and hanja.

3. TC/SC is not a 2^n problem. It is closer to n*2 to n*4 problem.

4. There is no sub-division of TC-han and SC-han "space" in ISO10646.
Han ideograph is a han ideograph.

5. I am wondering which authority in China, Japan and Korea is approving
this table as stated in the draft.
