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

["Kenny Huang" <huangk@alum.sinica.edu>]

Hi Patrik,

Thanks for your messages.  The official source of the table is described in the draft.
The table is not only for TSConv, but also applied for IDN(CJK) validation by accommodating
other script requirements. Detail CJK validation algorithm will be described in the next 
verion of TSConv before 21st Nov. Basically, unknown code point will pass CJK validation
function. For a valid code point, it will never be invalid in future revision. Only new invalid
code point will be added in future revision. The design ensure backward compatibility,
revisioning and stability.
