Technical

There is no reference to the character-to-glyph mapping functionality already provided by ISO/IEC 10179, Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL).

Editorial

Throughout, but especially in clauses 2 and 3 Spaces have been inserted invalidly between the colon following an ISO standard number and its date e.g. ISO/IEC 10646: 1993 instead of ISO/IEC 10646:1993.

Lists typically fail to end with a period.

Clause 2

Should also reference ISO/IEC 10179:1996.

Clause 6

Should reference the character-to-glyph mapping functionality provided in ISO/IEC 10179.
