Yes, 14652 is a DTR - a Draft Technical Report.
It covers ISO/IEC 10646-1 up to 1998, with a few characters adopted
in 1999, so it has not got the most recent additions to 10646.
According to the Unicode book, by 1998, ISO/IEC 10646-1 was up to the
repertoire of Unicode 2.1, and that included 38,887 assigned characters.
The 2000 version of ISO/IEC 10646-1 and Unicode 3.0 have repertoires of
49,194 characters. And Unicode 3.1 already has the supplementary
characters that will be in ISO/IEC 10646-2 (currently in final
ballot). This represents approximately 45,000 new characters, bringing
the total repertoire in Unicode and both parts of 10646 to approximately
94,000 characters.
Unicode 3.1 has up-to-date character property information for all 94,000
characters in the repertoire. As you note, 14652 has information about
some parts of the 10646 repertoire as it was in 1998.
