UTF-2 and standardization



Hi,
I am told that someone managed to get UTF-2 defined in the
soon-to-be-published ISO 9945-2 standard (POSIX part 2: Shells and tools,
which is also published as IEEE 1003.2)

Can anyone confirm/deny this?
I'm sure we know the advantages of sticking with a defined standard if
there is one....

(If we go for the private-use version of Otha's suggestion, this would
affect only the encoding method, not the basic character set)
