Report of SGML RG
The SGML Rapporteur Group has accepted *in principle*
the following recommendations pertaining to the review of
ISO/IEC 8879. (This means that they are accepted
"semantically" subject to being reconsidered if they prove
to be incompatible with some other recommendation. The
syntax which accompanied the proposals of these
recommendations is not necessarily the syntax that will be
adopted.)
1.RECOMMENDATION: Provide a way to declare name
characters that have no upper/lower case distinction without
having to repeat the characters.
2.RECOMMENDATION: Provide a uniform character range
specification mechanism and use it uniformly (e.g., in the
UC/LCNMSTRT and SHORTREF specifications) to add large chunks
of characters concisely).
3.RECOMMENDATION: Provide a means for specifying more
than one language in the public text language of a formal
public identifier
Other proposals received from various sources have been
added to the list of proposals to be considered during the
review.
