I remember Bruce's proposal to eliminate all upper/lower tags, he refers to ANSI here and Kaleb agrees. I have several ideas in this direction: maybe remove punct, space and alpha tags too? I.e. made it in two parts: control & printable. Or maybe three parts (control/printable/alpha)?

Well, so lets put XPG3 library into libc and made additional XPG4 library linked by -lxpg4. I assume that two libraries will be made from same sources, of course. Do you agree with that? -- Andrey A.
