We are not developing language standards, so are not directly able to respond to your request. However, we would hope that the resulting API's would be compatible with POSIX API's and language bindings; and we envision that users might require both POSIX and I18n API standards in the future. We will consider including references to WG20 work in this area in profiles or future work of WG15 as appropriate. thanks Jim Isaak =========================== Internet Practices Standards Study Group: see: http://computer.org/standard/Internet/ ======================== email (external to Digital): j.isaak@computer.org email (internal to Digital): Jim.Isaak@DIGITAL.com Home Office: 603-465-3131 Fax (not recommended! different site) 978-486-7656 Physical mail: Digital Equipment Corp. 21 Winding Valley Rd.
