Well, it seems I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place :-)
What about this:
[UNICODE] The Unicode Consortium, "The Unicode Standard --
Version 3.2", defined by The Unicode Standard,
Version 3.0 (Reading, MA, Addison-Wesley, 2000. ISBN
0-201-61633-5), as amended by the Unicode Standard
Annex #27: Unicode 3.1 (see http://www.unicode.org/
reports/tr27) and by the Unicode Standard Annex #28:
Unicode 3.2 (see http://www.unicode.org/reports/
tr28)., March 2002, <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/
standard/versions/
enumeratedversions.html#Unicode_3_2_0>.
I had to seriously cheat with the highly inflexible RFC2629 DTD to obtain
this, I hope it makes everyone happy.
