Just a little question: the unicode web site (example at: http://www.unicode.org/timesens/calendar.html) includes a link to what was supposed to be the information page for CEN TC304 (European Standards): http://www.stri.is/TC304/default.html
This is no longer working, and even the Icelandic domain seems to be now over. May be CEN has stopped its activity, but it was the source of the definition of the basic subsets of Unicode characters used for languages in the European Union (or the European Communities in a larger view), i.e. MES-1, MES-2, MES-3A, etc... The main references to TC304 is within UTR#17 (Character Encoding Model) at: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr17/index.html#Subsets which says: Subsetting is a major formal aspect of ISO/IEC 10646-1. The standard includes a set of internal catalog numbers for named subsets, and further makes a distinction between subsets that are fixed collections and those that are open collections, defined by a range of code positions. (See Technical Corrigendum No. 2 to ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993(E) for details.) The collections that are defined by a range of code positions are themselves open subsets of the repertoire, since they could be extended at any time by an addition to the repertoire which happens to get encoded in a code position between the range limits which define such a collection. The current TC304 project to define multilingual European subsets (MES-1, MES-2, MES-3A, and MES-3B) of ISO/IEC 10646-1 is a CEN effort to define three more subsets (each a fixed collection) that will, no doubt, at some point be added as named subsets in 10646. Technically, this is not an issue for Unicode works (Unicode does not define or standardize subsets), but for ISO10646. Can this link to CEN TC304 be updated ? Where can we find the results of its (past?) activities? In the ISO10646 repertoires collection?
