Re: callplot tool for generating call flows

Thank you, Jonathan!

I think this is a good example of community problem solving - solve it 
once, share, and it's solved for all of us!

One of the challenges in producing an Internet Draft is the creation of

To make the process easier, a colleague of mine, Dave Ladd, wrote a tool
called callplot. Callplot takes a source file that describes the
callflow, and then compiles it into an ASCII art version suitable for
inclusion in Internet drafts. It does automatic message numbering,
labeling, and so on. It can also spit out other formats that can be
included in MS Office documents, for example.
To illustrate, running callplot on this input:

I think this tool would be useful to the IETF community at large. As a
result, we've decided to make the tool open source, available at
sourceforge at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/callplot

Callplot is written in Java. Please feel free to download, use, and
provide improvements on this tool.

Then I guess the solution is to start using IPv6 and use
IPv6gate (http://ipv6gate.sixxs.net) already used by many
chinese people who are using IPv6. At least Asian sites
seem to be the biggest users of the thing as they are able
to read all IPv4 sites that are blocked ;)

Unicode Consortium Review: 31 Cantonese Romanization 2004.06.08

2004-03-24 Thread Patrik Fältström
Begin forwarded message:

The Unicode Technical Committee has posted a new issue for public 
review
and comment. Details are on the following web page:

	http://www.unicode.org/review/

Review periods for the new item closes on June 8, 2004.

Briefly, the new issue is:
---

31  Cantonese Romanization  2004.06.08

The sources for the Unihan database use multiple competing 
romanizations
of Cantonese, while the Unihan database uses yet another romanization. 
We
feel that there is no good reason for Unicode to contribute to this
confusion, so we plan to adopt a single, standard Cantonese 
romanization
for use throughout the Unihan database.

Also, the closing dates for issues #20 and #25 have been extended into 
June.

29  Normalization Issue  (Closes 2004.06.08)

There is a problem in the language of the specification of Unicode
Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms for forms NFC and 
NFKC. A
textual fix is required to make normalization formally 
self-consistent. The
fix will not have an impact on real data found in practice (with the
possible exception of test cases for the algorithm itself), because the
affected sequences do not constitute well-formed text in any language.
Details, cases, and recommendations can be found in the review 
document.
