A replacement candidate for US-International would only be a handy fall-off, and it is up to MIcrosoft to decide whether it has the potential to enhance UX. It all started up when Mark accepted to embrace the idea of adding a Numbers modifier and a Programmer toggle after submission of CLDR ticket #10851: unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/10851 I figure out that the working group is on a proof of concept. Iʼm trying to make up some additions by the deadline of PRI #367. Regards, Marcel
