I feel like I'm speaking a different language, or at least not worrying about the same problems.

Andrew keeps asking, I've read https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sullivan-lucid-prob-stmt/?include_text=1 several times now...

It looks like the PRECIS effort and Unicode aren't speaking the same language.  Which is unfortunate, since PRECIS is attempting to suggest ways to use Unicode.  

I think Asmus said that well " Character encoding is not the process of numbering entities by shape. It's the process of numbering entities by their underlying identity in writing."  

The PRECIS effort's language is all about characters are encoded by shape.  Unicodes language defined them as being encoded by their underlying identity.

-Shawn

PS: I love the sentence that starts off RFC 6885: "If a protocol expects to compare two strings and is prepared only for those strings to be ASCII, then using Unicode code points in those strings requires they be prepared somehow."  That makes me want to go hide in a cave or something.
