Rick, I apologise to you. You obviously are doing all that is reasonable to publish this document ASAP. I'm not so sure about apologising to Mr Everson; I would first like an explanation from him of why this updated version has not been made available at http://evertype.com/formal.html along with his other formal submissions. If the explanation is a polite one that he waits until the proposal is on the WG2 document register before he adds it to his web page, that will be sufficient.
I fail to understand why you think Michael Everson is obliged to post a link to a revised proposal on his *personal * web site almost the instant he submits such a document to WG2 - or explain to you or anyone else why such a link is not there. It simply *is not* a requirement that people who submit proposals to WG2 or UTC have to provide a link to such documents from their own personal web pages. If you couldn't find the document in the WG2 document directory, how was Michael supposed to provide a link to it until it was posted there by the person who maintains that site? - even then it is unreasonable for you to expect him to update his own website right away (or even at all) - or for you to expect him to provide an explanation if he doesn't.
Anyway if it is a simple revision of a recently submitted document chances are the new version may simply replace the old and not be assigned a new document number and file name - in which case the old link will work.
Also you cannot *expect* "more than wording added to the block introduction" or anything at all - If you want something along these lines, make a submission to the editors of TUS who are responsible for what goes in the block intro - and to the UTC or iso14651 if you have a proposal about the collation of these characters - don't make demands. Decisions on these things (block intro / collation) are usually made only after it has been decided to encode the characters themselves.
