April 1st seems like a good date to focus on for this as I would rather finish one task before starting another. But building consensus on which subset of ASCII to use is the key bit, so that we can have THE MicroASCII format rather Yet Another MicroASCII format.----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Fuller" <MICHAEL.S.FULLER@saic.com>

I can't really see any value in rushing into this until, say, April
at the earliest. We really need to evolve a consensus first.
Perhaps a draft RFC is appropriate? And a few robust implementations
would certainly help...

In order to do this, I am proposing MicroASCII. This would restore
ASCII to its Latin essentials and reduce the insane repeats.
Syntactical sugar such as K, Y and Z are no-brainers of course: I doubt
that anyone will really miss them. But more recent fads such J, W and U
are better off treated as presentation forms and taken care of by
another layer: ASCII violates this basic separation of concerns.
Indeed, the whole lower-case is redundant.
