RE: Unicode progress



The main argument made by the CJK camp against unicode is that many of the
characters assigned the same code point do not in fact have the same appearance.
I am not in a position to judge the validity of these arguments; the only 
character sets I am familar with are those for English and Hebrew. However,
since we're talking about UTF-2 here, which I believe handles UCS-3 and UCS-4,
this isn't a fight we need to get into here. 

 There was a UCS BOF at Amsterdam, which went pretty smoothly, and I think
that there's going to be a working group (John Klensin was the IESG man 
on the scene, so he'd know for sure).
