I received the following note from the editor of the second edition of ISO/IEC 10646-1. Between Editions 1 and 2 we added about 15,000 characters. We were working on it for about 5 years, during which I spent maybe 20-25% of my time on editorial work and related national committee work. So let's say about 250-300 of my man-days. That's 50-60 characters per man-day just for me, plus all the experts in the individual scripts, including IRG people. Is that an interesting sort of statistic for you ? Edwin F.
