Comments on ISO/IEC CD 9541-4

a) Page 1, if the reference to ISO/IEC 10036 is required, it should be listed in normative reference.

b) Page 1, in chapter 3, a note should be added to clarify the difference between "italic" term in ISO/IEC 14496-22 and that in ISO/IEC 9541.

c) Page 13, in chapter 6, "layout tag registry" should refer ISO/IEC 14496-22 5.4.3.1.

d) Page 13, ISO/IEC 10036 provides the graphic data and the glyph index. Some source of glyphs provide supplementary informations to relate the glyph with the character, but these informations are out of ISO/IEC 10036. Therefore, the layout features in ISO/IEC 14496-22 are difficult to associate the ISO/IEC 14496-22 layout feature with ISO/IEC 10036. To refer ISO/IEC 10036, "glyph index and associated information could help (see ISO/IEC 10036)" may be reasonable.

e) Page 13, the bibliography is numbered as chapter 7. It should not be numbered.

f) In all pages, "handle" should be corrected with "deal with".
