<h1>Compatibility across implementations</h1>

<p>
ECMA 402 describes the schema of the data used by its functions. The
data contained inside is implementation-dependent, and expected to
change over time and vary between implementations. The variation is
visible by programmers, and it is possible to construct programs which
will depend on a particular output. However, this specification
attempts to describe reasonable constraints which will allow
well-written programs to function across implementations.
Implementations are encouraged to continue their efforts to harmonize
linguistic data.
