I made some modest progress since last time. In particular the to Unicode  
algorithms behind hz-gb-2312, euc-jp, iso-2202-jp, and shift_jis are done.

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/encoding/raw-file/tip/Overview.html

I was wondering if people had ideas on how to present rather large data  
tables. For single-octet encodings I think what I have now is okay, but  
for multi-octet encodings it probably needs to be a separate file. Should  
such a file be HTML or is a simple data file sufficient? Maybe JSON or the  
Unicode.org format?

Input appreciated.

By the way, if it is inappropriate for me to discuss this here let me know.
