This sounds very good. But it leaves open the possibility that
codepoints in both Unicode and ISO 10646 are being reallocated
in sync, which is obviously not desirable. How about:

As long as the character repertoires and code point assignments of 
ISO 10646 and those of Unicode are in sync, and as far as they are
not being reallocated, this charset refers to the latest version of
Unicode/ISO 10646.

Regards,   Martin.
