Notes related to Globalization Ad Hoc group items.
Final document has to be ready by the end of February 2012
Comments from TC39 meeting incorporated into a final document by mid
April (hopefully the comments are minimal)
ES 262 test harness should be used - we should talk to the test
harness maintainer (he is on parental leave as of yesterday, but Bill
Ticehurst, Microsoft, is a good alternative contact)
Plan for test 262 should be presented at the March meeting (TR for
separate spec, but TC39 needs to work it out - what’s exactly needed?)
Add an Annex to the draft with informal/explanatory part of the doc
(again, by February)
Norbert gave Internationalization group status update as item 4.3
Norbert created slide deck based on our 11/15/2011 meeting at Google,
which he is going to present as item 5.3 of the TC39 meeting agenda
Technical presentation and discussion (item 5.3)
setDefaultLocale on Globalization (implement a way to change default
locale)
Globalization namespace maybe taken by jQuery plugin
Use modules? (may be done ahead of standard) - or use other namespace
they are proposing Object.System but will have to hash it out on the list
API too Java like? Maybe implement shortcuts without user needing to
new DateTimeFormat to format
We need to initiate discussion on es-discuss about namespace and API
Supplementary characters - some things are in UTF-16 some are not -
specify that our algorithm uses UTF-16 encoding
Introduce ValueError to core language? (maybe use TypeError, or use
.error property of exception object to detect/change)
