That's me. I read the draft, and actually I was very happy with it. No complaints at all. I am particularly happy that the mathematical letters and numbers (1D400-1D7FF) will be permitted in identifiers. This is important because it allows mathematical expressions and programming-language expressions to use the same symbols (for the first time!). I also noted the comment about how specific porgramming languages could, if they wished, ignore <font> equivalences (and hence ignore the mathematical letters and numbers) - so I guess that keeps everyone happy. I would have used the feedback form, but I didn't see much point as I had no complaints.

The Proposed Draft UTR #31: Identifier and Pattern Syntax will be discussed at the UTC meeting next week. Part of that document (Section 4) is a proposal for two new immutable properties, Pattern_White_Space and Pattern_Syntax. As immutable properties, these would not ever change once they are introduced into the standard, so it is important to get feedback on their contents beforehand. The UTC will not be making a final determination on these properties at this meeting, but it is important that any feedback on them is supplied as early in the process as possible so that it can be considered thoroughly. The draft is found at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/ and feedback can be submitted as described there. Regards, Rick McGowan Unicode, Inc.
