Re: UTF-8S ???



What is this UTF-8S please? The term showed up on
linux-utf8@xxxxxxxxxxxx in

  http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2001-06/msg00037.html

without any link to a proposal document. Google and Altavista don't know
the term either. The unicode@xxxxxxxxxxx archive on

  ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MailArchive/

is utterly useless, because it provides only compressed batches of
ancient submissions, not one URL per posting in real-time as one would
hope from any quality mailing list archive such as e.g.

  http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/

Please do not forget to *always* include the original document URL or
similar introductory information to cross-posts to other lists! Cut &
paste of URLs really isn't that difficult, so make a habit of it,
please!

So is this UTF-8S something useful, or just yet another
political-correctness exercise like UTF-32 was?
