The main argument made by the CJK camp against unicode is that many of the characters assigned the same code point do not in fact have the same appearance. I am not in a position to judge the validity of these arguments; the only character sets I am familar with are those for English and Hebrew. However, since we're talking about UTF-2 here, which I believe handles UCS-3 and UCS-4, this isn't a fight we need to get into here. There was a UCS BOF at Amsterdam, which went pretty smoothly, and I think that there's going to be a working group (John Klensin was the IESG man on the scene, so he'd know for sure).
