Over the last year, we have had many discussions about the various
ways foreign characters are used, and I think we reached consensus
on many of the issues, but those discussions are a bit scattered.
I think a simple, organized, documented policy on these issues is
important to help all the newcomers, and also to serve as a spec
for fixing the new software to properly support and enforce those
choices. I was going to do some of that code myself, but I thought
I should make sure I had a correct understanding of what should
happen first.
Please read the proposal at
