Re: Registration of new charset: GEOSTD8

[Gia Shervashidze <giasher@wanex.net>]

Both are right, contemporary Georgian (and proposed charset) is "case insensitive".

see http://www.gia.ge/georgia/language.htm#Writing about writing system & alphabet(s)

 

in the chart http://www.gia.ge/g13n/geostd8.gif mentioned in the previous message

only upper/lower half of single-byte table is shown,

not-shown corersponding lower/upper half - ASCII.

full description of charset is done in the attached document (in previous letter).

 

did you meant any convenient/relevant/appropriate place for publishing it as Info-RFC?

 

thanks,

Just for my information, so that I am sure I understand it:

- is it true that Georgian has no upper/lower case distinction?
- the proposed charset can be used to write both Latin script and
  Georgian script. Right?

It seems good to me - sending the draft to internet-drafts@ietf.org will
make it public for 6 months; it may very well be a Good Thing to publish
this as an info RFC so that it is permanently available.

I-D submission is now closed before the IETF; you can send in the
submission after December 15th.

Good luck!
