* Elliotte Rusty Harold | | Security and spoofing are very real issues that were never, as far | as I know, even considered in the design of Unicode. It's unclear | whether or not the problem can be fixed now. The Unicode community | has been in serious denial about this for some time. That other | technologies also have or contribute to these problems in no way | absolves Unicode of its problems.
Could you explain what the problem is, as you see it? I've heard mumblings about this from various directions for a long time, but could never make any sense out of them. Is there a problem? If so, what is it? It seems to me that as security problems go C/C++ is infinitely much worse that Unicode, and anyone at all serious about security should start there, rather than with character sets. -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > ISO SC34/WG3, OASIS GeoLang TC <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no >
