Dear IETF participants,

The W3C Internationalization (I18N) Working Group recently published a “last call for review” of the “Character Model for the World Wide Web: String Matching<https://www.w3.org/TR/charmod-norm>” Note [1]. Because our group felt it was of general interest to IETF, I was tasked [4] with posting this announcement on this list. We are looking for comments by Tuesday 29 May.

This document builds on the document Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals<https://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/> [2] and provides authors of specifications, software developers, and content developers with a common reference on string identity matching on the World Wide Web, in order to increase interoperability. [It is similar, in that regard, to the PRECIS RFCs in IETF]

All comments are welcome. Please raise them as github issues<https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues> [3]. To make it easier to track comments, please raise separate issues for each comment and point to the section you are commenting on using a URL.

Thanks,

Addison Phillips

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
