Re: [whatwg/encoding] If gb18030 is revised, consider aligning the Encoding Standard (#27) from Dr. Ken Lunde on 2018-10-22 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from October 2018)

@lygstate and others: One of my friends at CESI shared with me the text from the final draft a few days ago. This confirmed that the PUA requirement for the 24 characters is being lifted. They also removed the 21 ideographs that are in the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block. While this may sound good at first, there are actually 12 CJK Unified Ideographs among those 21 ideographs, meaning that they do not decompose. I immediately alerted CESI about this, and it sounds like they will restore those twelve CJK Unified Ideographs. The year of the standard is likely to be 2018, because that is the year when it was finished, though its release is expected to be early next year.
