Ideally what Zach proposes will ship under the Boost banner first. Why? So more than the maybe 20 people on the committee will look at it before the ink is dried and it ships with compilers.
It sounds like the committee's workflow is defective. If more people should interact with the library before it goes into the standard, here's a novel idea: Don't put it in the standard yet. Why does Boost.Text have to go into the standard right away? Why can't it enjoy life as its own non-std library for a few years, the way that Asio did? Plenty of users and companies can enjoy the Unicode library without it having to be in the std:: namespace. Thanks
