Because Unicode is a superset of ASCII. So, if you develop with ASCII-only tools, they may not be able to process all Cosmogol files, only those written in pure ASCII. > For me, I'm thinking that this is mostly text editors, and some gui > tools that would mostly *export* a SMDL. i.e. that we work mostly > in latex-style. No, the typical Cosmogol tools are not editors (Cosmogol is, by design, a text-based language, so you can use any editor), they are checkers, translators, etc. Same as with ABNF. > Is that really that much harder? I suggested that people post here "implementation reports" of parsers for Unicode-based language, together with code examples. So far, we received mostly "It should work" reports :-) > Was it simply the "case-insensitive" nature of things that threw a > wrench in things? Cosmogol is case-sensitive. _______________________________________________ Cosmogol mailing list Cosmogol@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cosmogol
