Subject: RE: Documents for Character Set Ad-hoc (agenda time)

Mr Mori has asked what the boundaries of discussion should be.
At Unicode we see three areas of discussion:

1 Representation of characters
   This is a datatype issue, and the discussion of
   the proposed UTF-16 support would fall here

2 Identifiers
   This is the issue Tom referred to. There are
   several strategies worth discussing

3 Character Properties / Processing
   If we can make progress with the first two, it
   might make sense to broaden the discussion to
   consider this issue.

We are working on creating a paper that we can submit
from the Unicode side to help with the discussion of
these three issues - that's why I have refrained
from doing more than list them here.

By accident of schedule, our next meeting is in the
week directly before the ad-hoc meeting; we will try
to come up with something earlier than that, if we can.
