The Unicode Technical Committee has posted "Proposed Draft UTS #40: BOCU-1
MIME-Compatible Unicode Compression" for public review and comment.


This document describes a Unicode compression scheme that is
MIME-compatible, directly usable for e-mail, and preserves binary order
(for databases and sorted lists). It replaces UTN #6 and adds a formal
description of the algorithms, without substantially changing the
specification.

Details are on the following web page:
	http://www.unicode.org/review/

The review document itself is here:

Review period for the proposed draft closes on May 9, 2006.
