Re: TR6 charset

For the record.  I'm a member of the Unicode Technical Committee and one of  
the Consortium's Technical Directors.  I agree with Chris Newman's assessment  
regarding any proposed registration of SCSU under RFC 2278.  To wit, he  
says:

It's my opinion that registering *any* more flavors of alternative encodings  
for text is contrary to the current sense of the UTC, as well as members of  
IETF.  There are already too many variations, and we don't need any more --  
especially we don't need any more encodings for Unicode data on the wire.
