True, I do not expect any “regular” update.

I do not attempt to cover “everything”. That was never a goal. The “styling” proposal covers, well, (text) styling. Usable also for styled text documents, not limited to terminal emulators.

I have an early draft regarding keyboard input stuff (and ECMA-48). And that is for terminal emulators only… When I get time, I will work more on that. (Still not covering “everything”.)

Ps
The math expression representation proposal is not related to ECMA-48.
