They think that Cosmogol, being intended Given that ASCII and Latin-1 is a proper subset of Unicode, I don't understand how permitting Unicode makes tools for writing SMDL harder. 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. Or, is something thinking that editing tools will read/write the SMDL? If the processing tools can cope with Unicode, that seems nice. Is that really that much harder? Was it simply the "case-insensitive" nature of things that threw a wrench in things? _______________________________________________ Cosmogol mailing list Cosmogol@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cosmogol
