Ian, would a reference to ISO/IEC 646 aka ECMA-006 be acceptable to you?

I am trying to determine if we need a call for consensus or a call for  
counter-proposals as the next step.

Side note: it seems to me that changing the reference would be, like,  
10 minutes of work, so if this one is acceptable from a technical  
perspective, please let's consider going with it instead of dragging  
this issue out further.

Maciej
