Sorry, I missed that. Of course not! HTML Internationalization
(first RFC 2070 and later HTML 4.0) was explicitly designed to
cope with the expanding repertoire of Unicode. The SGML declaration
allows all unassigned codepoints, for example. The same applies
to XML, which originally cited Unicode 2.0 or so. That was just
the newest version available, and we didn't distinguish that
carefully yet between dated versions and open-ended citations
then.

So, in short, don't worry, be happy!

Regards,    Martin.
