X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.1.2 7/11/90) To: wg15rin@dkuug.dk Subject: Re: (i18n 57) posix i18n (#467) X-Charset: ASCII X-Char-Esc: 29 This is not official, but a quick straw poll suggests that the UK too would not countenance a 9945-2 in which internationalization support was optional; that is, the UK is likely to be happy with no less than the functionality specified by 1003.2, draft 10. (As per WG15's resolution.) Will discuss this with a view to getting an official position at the next UK POSIX panel meeting, which is on 12th February. Note that this is sent to the wg15rin list; I do not think discussion of national balloting positions is appropriate to the public group. -- Dominic Dunlop
