<p class=MsoNormal>Last DPC of the season, if we're sticking to one a week: As
some of you know, this came up at the BSC meeting at Annual, when it became
clear that there was confusion about the phrase "If the rules for
capitalization require converting the letters <span class=normalbold>i/j</span>
or <span class=normalbold>u/v</span> to uppercase or lowercase..."
because, in fact, "uppercase or lowercase" aren't reciprocal here. It
will never be the case that an uppercase <b>J</b> or <b>U</b> will be converted
to lowercase, see footnote 26 in Appendix G, which reads "An uppercase<b>
J</b> or <b>U</b> in the source signals a modern distribution, in which <b>i</b>
and<b> j</b> are functioning as separate letters, as are <b>u</b> and <b>v</b>,
requiring no special consideration while converting case." <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Proposed change: replace the standard phrase as follows...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Existing wording: If the rules for capitalization require
converting the letters<span class=normalbold> i/j</span> or <span
class=normalbold>u/v</span> to uppercase or lowercase.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>New wording: If the rules for capitalization require
converting the letters<span class=normalbold> I</span> or <span
class=normalbold>V</span> to lowercase or<span class=normalbold> i</span>, <span
class=normalbold>j</span>, <span class=normalbold>u</span>, or <span
class=normalbold>v</span> to uppercase.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Discussion is open to anyone through DCRM-L for one week.
BSC members will be asked to vote on the proposed change on December 14.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
