Reasons why users should move to Unicode 5.0 Markus : Case folding improved Deborah : Properties stabilized Markus: The Unicode editorial committee has more compelling reasons. Wait for Mark to give us an update. 5. CLDR draft data in ICU John: ICU currently does not include data that is marked draft="provisional" in ICU. Should that be the policy? Ram: ICU only includes data that is vetted in ICU by default. Tools let you pick and choose data to be included George: locales that are required by Whitepaper are included by default Ram: For all locales not all vetted data is included. Vetted data is judiciously pruned by default. Deborah: Is there a process for ICU users to request certain locales to be included into the default build George: There is no formal process. If a major ICU cucstomer requires certain locales to be included we could include it on a case by case basis. This is done to control the data library size. Deborah: Can haw locale be included in ICU by default? Apple would like it to be George: Since haw locale does not increase the size substantially we can include it Decision - see A014
