An updated draft of the direction paper (now designated P1238) is available in our github repo:
- https://github.com/sg16-unicode/sg16/tree/master/papers
- (viewable link) https://rawgit.com/sg16-unicode/sg16/master/papers/d1238r0.html

I've incorporated some, but not all, of the feedback from the meeting on Wednesday:
- Added timeline information and clarified what is and is not targeting C++20.
- Added some more discussion about implementation defined encodings on Windows and z/OS.
- Poached some content from Steve's draft for the std::text section.
- Added a brief mention of std::locale in the generic interface section.
- Other misc fixups and re-wordings.

I have not yet addressed discussion surrounding char8_t, but plan to do so.

Zach, in the meeting, you expressed some concern regarding the generic interfaces and support of segmented text.  My notes from the meeting aren't great regarding this and I'm afraid I'm not clear on what you would like to see updated.  Can you offer a suggestion?

Tom.

Enclosed is a draft of an SG16 direction paper to be discussed at our meeting tomorrow.  It's rough, but I think in sufficient shape for discussion.

If we manage to get through that paper, we'll discuss the paper Steve just posted to our mailing list [1] and/or Markus' feedback paper [2].
