Note that the ECMA-402 folks have hinted that if Microsoft adopted ICU it would make it much easier to expose a bunch of new stuff and have been pushing Microsoft in that direction. Were that to happen you have software monoculture, bugs that cannot be fixed, etc. It's especially strange that a standards body is encouraging this kind of thing. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
