If Unicode was to replace SCSU with BOCU-1, thus keeping the set of Unicode 
encodings that "someone" recomments constant, I wouldn't worry.....but 
Unicode is still sticking with SCSU.

(that said, unless someone else feels unhappy about adding One More 
Encoding, I think it's probably not a big deal to approve it.)
