I've seen mentioned in a proposed change to the ISO SQL standard the
use of a "Universal Character Set" by the name of ISO 10646 (draft). 
It looks like a 32-bit scheme of some sort.

Does anyone out there know anything more about this proposed draft
(10646) and perhaps where one might be able to obtain a copy?  I've
already checked with ANSI and some engineering standards houses - but
no one on this side of the Atlantic seems to know what it is (too new,
I guess).

	Your help would be greatly appreciated!  I'll post to
	the net whatever I find out.

		Thanx!
