Do you have any idea what Slide 8 is about?
No, I don't and that's one of the reasons I used the term
"troll". Pouzin often mentions "problems with Unicode" but he never
documented them in detail.
Calling someone a troll is an ad hominem. We aren't supposed to do that
in the IETF. At least, not publicly.
To call a very senior, very serious contributor a troll because their
slides don't explain something is rather worse than ad hominem.
One could even imagine invoking a criterion that is that inappropriate
as qualifying the critic as a troll...
