> Please look at RFC 2640 "Internationalization of FTP" (July 1999, > Proposed Std status currently), which says: > The character set defined for international support of FTP SHALL be > the Universal Character Set as defined in ISO 10646:1993 as amended. Whoops. That should definitely be updated to ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 and ISO/IEC 10646-2:2001, as amended. If anyone was truly trying to still implemented based on 10646-1:*1993*, with its 31 amendments, just to get up to the Unicode 3.0 level, I'd feel *real* *real* sorry for them. > Currently, no codesets > have been defined outside of the 2 byte BMP. Currently that statement is false. > The Unicode standard version 2.0 [UNICODE] is consistent with the > UCS-2 subset of ISO/IEC 10646.

And that statement should also be updated to reflect current reality. --Ken
