S. Umamaheswaran" , dlanglotz@scc.ca (Douglas Langlotz) From: Alain LaBonté  Subject: PDAM 22 (Keyboard symbols) to ISO/IEC 10646 - Canadian ballot revision to be sent before March 31st Cc: sc18wg9@dkuug.dk, cac-jtc1-i18n@scc.ca Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Written on 1998-03-16, programmed to be sent automatically on 1998-03-20 ________________________________________________________________________ Today, I tried to tell SC2/WG2 that PDAM 22 to ISO/IEC 10646 would completely satisfy JTC1/WG5 requirement to encode keyboard symbols only i= f the proposal contained in SC2/WG2 N 1668R2 was included as a complement (PDAM 22 unifies function symbols "Delete" and "Clear Screen" which is OK only if proposal SC2/WG2 N 1668R2, which creates a combining SCREEN [and = a combining KEYCAP, a good idea that goes beyond JTC1/WG5 requirements], is included with the FPDAM. The chair, Mike Ksar, and the editor, Bruce Paterson, said that we only h= ad until March 31 to make this comment. Dr Uma and I agree that we should ma= ke it. So I recommend that we amend our vote in the folowing way : We vote YES (no change, we had voted YES without comment) on PDAM 22 with the following comment: The proposal of SC2/WG2 N 1668 R2 (or a more recent revison with enhanced glyphs) should be included in the FPDAM 22 to ISO/IEC 10646-1 to satisfy the requirements of JTC1/WG5 (ex-SC18/WG9), requirements that SC2/WG2 already had agreed to in previous years. A liaison statement to SC18/WG9 had been issued to that effect. SC2/WG2 has to be consistent with the decisions it took and which were announced to the exterior world. We understand that it had been overlooked and Canada requests this correctio= n as a formality to complement its YES vote. Alain LaBont=E9 Seattle
