Greg goes:
I can write French
in Latin 1, a 2022 variant, or in Unicode, and unless all
implementations have support for all possible character sets, I cannot
count on interoperating.
What exactly do you mean by "support"? Do you mean the ability to
convert to another character set in the list?
What happens when we want to add a new character set to the list?
That said, I'd like to see a "common" character set defined in this
document. At this point, that seems to point to either 10646, or
Unicode.
I think 10646 and Unicode should not be mentioned until they become
standards. Well, we *can* mention them now, but only in a footnote
saying that we might add these to the list later on.

Erik
