2013-09-13 Thread Whistler, Ken
Steffen, FYI, Unicode 7.0, when it comes out, will have another entire bicameral (casing) script added to it: Warang Citi. And when Old Hungarian is finally published, at some point after Unicode 7.0, that will be *another* bicameral script added. It is unlikely that those two will be the last.

Just to add a tiny bit to the very good explanation by Ken, the draft for the ballot texts are sometimes also included in the Unicode registry. ISO adds some head pages but otherwise the content is the same as the official ISO documents. There are always in the WG2 web site which is not
