PRI #179: Changes to Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines
The Unicode Consortium is considering changes to UTS #18 Unicode Regular Expressions (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/). These proposed changes have arisen in connection with questions about case-insensitive and canonical-equivalent matching.
The proposed changes eliminate some requirements on implementations of Unicode Regular Expressions which have proven to be problematic in implementations, and add clarifications. The consortium is soliciting feedback on these changes.
