(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.
...
RFC 1345 is *not* a standard. It is an informational RFC.
Duly noted.
The issue remains that the informational RFC presents useful mnemonics
for many characters, and there doesn't appear to be such a thing from
Unicode or ISO. That's the point of an update to RFC 1345: it serves a
purpose that I can't see served comparably well elsewhere.
