Dear Dave Crocker,

Thank you for your answer.

Your argument is totally correct. But, as far as TC/SC issue is concerned,
we are not dealing with 0 or 1 issue. Please, let me quote from Paul 
Hoffman's I-D draft-hoffman-i18n-terms-04.txt.

      ... The better internationalized an application is,
      the easier it is to localize it ...

I want to rephrase it;

      ... The poorer internationalized an application is,
      the harder (or even impossible) it is to localization it ...

As I have not yet surveyed TC/SC issue enough to make a solid conclusion, it
seems to me that we are going to come up with very poorly internationalized
standard.

My best regards
