[UA-discuss] Important UA milestone for Apple platforms (iOS, MacOSX, TvOS, WatchOS)

[Marc Blanchet]

One caveat I forgot to mention: this work is based on the whatwg URL specification (aka UTS46). The authors even are completely wrong in describing IDNA: “IDNA stands for "Internationalizing Domain Names for Applications". It is defined by Unicode Technical Standard 46, and this is how they describe it…”

UTS46 defining IDNA. Quite a big mistake.

But anyway, overall, moving along, which is good.

Marc.

A bit late, but since it has been done in the core, then it encompasses “everything”.
