Re: A Comment on 9. [1] of the requirements document.
Am I correct in understanding that the issue before this WG is master file character encodings? There are other datums in master files than names, so the LDH restriction on ASCII code points used in A records isn't mooted by citing the total scope of master file ASCII values, or the quoting mechanism for master files (unless it is also a quoting mechanism for strings we have associated with A records). Amusing aside, when French redaction of the "ou" sound common in Abenaki began, circa 1600, French lacked a "w", and to write "ou", the Jesuits wrote "8" (small gap at the apex of the upper loop), which is still used in Abenaki today. The case folding rule for "8" is that 8 == 8. We don't have a case folding rule for 7 or 9, yet ;-) Eric
