Subject: RE: [i18n+P&C] IRI/URI normalization
Hello Art,
Apologies for the delay in responding.
The I18N WG feels that, based on examining your document again, the
messages on this thread, and our understanding of Widget's P&C, you
do not need to make any changes. There are ample mechanisms in XML
for encoding IRIs in configuration documents that do not use UTF-8
as their encoding and your specification is clear about what the
requirements are for widgets.
Best Regards (for I18N),
Addison
