Well, there is something to it... ISO/IEC 9945-2:1993 is approved as an International Standard, hopefully to be published within a couple of months. UTF-2 is *not* included in the ISO/IEC 9945-2:1993 standard. There is an addendum to IS 9945-2 to be published one or two years from now. This is currently known as .2b and UTF-2 *is* currently in the draft of this addendum (along with BASE64 and some other MIME stuff!) Keld --Boundary (ID uEbHHWxWEwCKT9wM3evJ5w)
