Dear CIF2 encoding participants, As Herbert has indicated, we are starting to run out of time for resolution of the encoding issue. I believe that we have now explored the various proposals sufficiently to all have a good understanding of the consequences and advantages of each approach. So, after a round of final comments, I propose that we vote on the general scheme that we recommend. We can then flesh out the details of the particular scheme that we have settled on, and take this completed proposal to the DDLm group for their approval, following which we will present the entire CIF2 syntax document to COMCIFS for a formal vote. The proposals that I believe are still on the table are: 1. Herbert's 'as for CIF1 proposal' recently posted here and to COMCIFS. 2. Herbert's 'as for CIF1 proposal', together with Brian's proposal (if you agree that they are compatible) 2. UTF8-only as in the original draft 3. UTF8 + UTF16 4. UTF8, UTF16 + "local" I have not included the hashcode proposal as I believe it no longer has any supporters. We would need to conduct a preferential vote. I stress that this is purely to determine the recommendation of this working group, and is not in any way binding on COMCIFS. James. -- T +61 (02) 9717 9907 F +61 (02) 9717 3145 M +61 (04) 0249 4148 _______________________________________________ cif2-encoding mailing list cif2-encoding@iucr.org http://scripts.iucr.org/mailman/listinfo/cif2-encoding
