Formal comment #181 (simplification) utf-32-codec is useless Reported by: John Cowan Version: 5.92 Summary: utf-32-codec is unnecessary UTF-32 is not used to any significant degree externally to a process, and though it is trivial to define, it does not have any warrant for standardization. The requirement for providing a codec for it via the utf-32-codec procedure should be removed. RESPONSE: The UTF-32 codec will be removed in the next draft of the report.
