Whoops. That should definitely be updated to ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000
and ISO/IEC 10646-2:2001, as amended.

If anyone was truly trying to still implemented based on 10646-1:*1993*,
with its 31 amendments, just to get up to the Unicode 3.0 level, I'd
feel *real* *real* sorry for them.

Currently that statement is false.
