Just for the record / To whom it may concern: The new 8-bit character set standard ISO/IEC 8859-11:2001 Information technology -- 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets -- Part 11: Latin/Thai alphabet was apparently published by ISO a few days ago. [I don't have a copy of either ISO 8859-11 or TIS 602, so I can't compare the two myself. I suspect they are the same and that it will be the first part of ISO 8859 that has combining characters.] Also, a reminder for those of you who maintain POSIX locale databases: The currency (but not necessarily the preferred charset!) has changed today in the following locales to "EUR": Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), Finland (FI), France (FR), Germany (DE), Greece (GR), Ireland (IE), Italy (IT), Luxembourg (LU), the Netherlands (NL), Portugal (PT), and Spain (ES) For these, separate @euro locale definition files are now redundant and should become the main locales, whereas the previous ones with the national currencies can be discarded.
