defect

R5RS said almost nothing about character sets. R6RS specified full Unicode. Do we specify a character set, or limit the options in any way?

milestone

For WG1, i would suggest that under-specification is better than over-specification. While Unicode is amazingly general, it does miss on some issues - so in general I would think silence is better on this for WG1 Scheme

The WG voted to adopt UnicodeCowan.
