Two comments only:
- the "charset" SCSU is, as far as I can see, the combination of the CCS
UNICODE/ISO 10646 with the CES of UTR #6.
This should be expressed clearly in the "Published specification" section;
as currently written, it sounds like you're registering the CES only,
which is a no-no.
- I would like to add under "Additional information":
SCSU is completely useless for applications that require a canonical
representation of text. This is an intentional part of its design.
I don't like it much as a general purpose tool, but it may find a market
niche somewhere.
