The Unicode Technical Committee has posted two new issues for public review and comment. Details are on the following web page: http://www.unicode.org/review/ Review periods for the new items close on August 9, 2005. Please see the page for links to discussion and relevant documents. Briefly, the new issues are: 72 Stability of the Bidi Mirrored Property In a bidirectional context, the images of many characters need to be oriented depending on the writing direction of the text in which they occur. The Bidi Mirrored property defines this behavior, but the model it implements has a few inconsistencies. Ideally, these would be corrected, but doing so will destabilize all documents containing the affected characters. A stability policy would freeze future changes, but should one last round of improvements be carried out? Your input on the range of possible actions is solicited, whether you are a language expert, user. or implementer. 73 Representative Glyphs for Arabic Characters U+06DF, U+06E0, and U+06E1 The representative glyphs for several Arabic characters used to annotate the Koran have been reported as being possibly incorrect. The UTC has tentatively decided to revise them as explained in the accompanying document. The UTC invites anyone knowledgeable in their use to provide additional information or recommendations. If you have comments for official UTC consideration, please post them by submitting your comments through our feedback & reporting page: http://www.unicode.org/reporting.html If you wish to discuss issues on the Unicode mail list, then please use the following link to subscribe (if necessary). Please be aware that discussion comments on the Unicode mail list are not automatically recorded as input to the UTC.
