SG16 in Belfast: Needs revision.

SG16 reviewed a draft of this paper in Belfast during our discussions of NL029. The author was present. We're looking forward to a revision for C++23 that addresses C compatibility, implementation experience, and that has wording.

SG16 minutes are available with the minutes for the discussion of NL029 at:

P1949R1: Implementations should implicitly normalize identifiers to NFC

SF	F	N	A	SA
1	2	2	3	0

Consensus? No

P1949R1: non-NFC normalized identifiers should be ill-formed.

SF	F	N	A	SA

Consensus? Yes

P1949R1: We agree with the stated UAX31 conformance requirements.

SF	F	N	A	SA
2	4	1	0	0

Consensus? Yes

P1949R1: Encourage exploring incorporation of UAX39; exclusion of confusables.

P1949R1: Forward to EWG

SF	F	N	A	SA

Adding the needs-revision tag to address SG16 guidance and to provide wording. SG16 guidance was to specify that non-NFC normalized identifiers are ill-formed.

EWGI in Prague

Given the time constraints of the committee, should we spend additional committee effort on
P1949?

SF	F	N	A	SA
12	3	1	0	0

Should implementers be allowed to extend the list of allowable characters as a conforming
extension?

SF	F	N	A	SA
1	1	7	4	0

We believe that P1949R1 has been sufficiently developed and (pending the feedback from the
room and SG16 are merged) this paper is ready for EWG.
