Mand.

OK This is now corrected on the new HTML pages. But the new "normative" plain-text file now contains... "Mnda" !!!

Whoops. It was late, and that change was made by hand.

As a side note to Michael or the other 6 RA members (Ken, and Rick notably), I
don't think it's even a good idea to ZIP this reference plain-text file due to
its very small size (which smaller than each of the HTML versions of codelists).

Surely it is not harmful.

It could be presented directly under the URL:
http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-code.UTF-8.txt

The plain text would appear directly in the browser window where it could be
saved as well, without needing any ZIP tool...

Everyone has a zip tool.

I am not very happy about loading the plain-text in browsers. Three of my browsers load it and *all* the French UTF-8 is displayed in Latin 1.

I hope that the published versions will soon be acceptable for getting from the current "FDIS" status (Final Draft International Standarf) to the "Standard" status in ISO. I looked into the TC46 web site and for now ISO 15924 is still not a final standard but a final draft

It *has* been published by ISO, though the TC46 web site doesn't reflect this. -- Michael Everson * * Everson Typography * * http://www.evertype.com
