Recommendations

• Support the detailed work at W3C (guidelines, tests, indexes). It makes a difference.

• Monitor and support work on other script requirements, eg. Chinese, Korean.

• Re-constitute the JLREQ task force, to maintain the document.

• Constitute a Japanese community that can:

• review emerging standards.

• prioritise gaps at a lower level of granularity and produce a roadmap.

• demonstrate their pain to implementers.17
