(1) What be the point of an update to RFC 1345? A modern developer
should be going directly to the ISO and Unicode documents for
reference.
RFC 1345 gives mnemonic strings for many useful characters, and there
are a number of character input systems that use this standard for the
purpose of standard key sequences for entering those characters.
I'm not aware of a Unicode or ISO table similar to the table of
character mnemonics in RFC 1345, leaving an update to the RFC as the
best option I can see. I'd be happy to learn of a freely-implemented
popular standard mnemonic table that is equal or better.
(2) If *you* think an update would be a worthwhile exercise, you
have thereby nominated yourself for writing the internet draft for
an update.
Perhaps. I don't have anything close to the knowledge that obviously
went into the writing of RFC 1345.
Good luck finding someone to review it.
I'll take that as your note of disinterest in the topic. Thanks for
discussing so far.
I wonder if there aren't others closer to IETF than me who also feel
RFC 1345 serves a useful purpose as described above.
