comments on the latest TA doc (i18n issue)

Dear TA team members, 

Comments on the latest draft, by ECOM XML/EDI Standardization 
Committee in Japan. 

We reviewed the latest TA spec from i18n perspective.  Arch document 
should mention character set, encodings and language identification 
clearly in terms of multi-lingual support, as one of the general 
ebxml principles.  

Section 1.1 bullet h (line 189), should be: 

  h. Facilitate multi-lingual support.  EbXML specification shall be 
     compliant with Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646 for character set, and 
     UTF-8 or UTF-16 for character encoding.  An attribute "xml:lang" 
     may be inserted in an element to specify the language in which 
     the content is written, if explicit identification is needed.  
     The value of the attribute is complied with the section "1.12  
     Language identification" in XML 1.0 specification. 

Regards,
