[Idngwg] Harmonization of Variant Sets

[Tan Tanaka, Dennis]

Another way to look at this (at least I do) is to consider two uses cases:
-use case 1: two (or more) IDN tables, same script
-use case 2: two (or more) IDN tables, different scripts

The core of the guideline is to harmonize variant rules (i.e. ensure symmetry and transitivity) across all IDN tables under a TLD. I think we were thinking Japanese and Chinese (at least I was) when we discussed the detail and final language. I don’t think it was our intention to discriminate same script vs cross-script. In this sense, it make sense to remove the “same script” qualifier.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Idngwg] Harmonization of Variant Sets

Dear All,

As discussed in the call today, here is a brief document discussing the harmonization of variant sets.  The “same-script IDN tables” in the guidelines allows for the examples in the document.  Additional guidelines on cross-script labels would prevent cross-script issues implicitly.   However, if the WG considers to make it explicit, it could be done by, for example, removing the yellow highlighted text in the attached document.

Regards,
Sarmad
