    Dear Elliotte,

    ISO-8859-11 has been finished for almost year :)

    for refs:
    ISO-8859-11 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets -- Part 11:
    Latin/Thai alphabet
    http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=28263&ICS1=35&ICS2=40&ICS3

    or see its draft at
    http://www.nectec.or.th/it-standards/iso8859-11/

    ISO-8859-11 = TIS-620 + { NBSP }

    NBSP = Non-Breaking Space (0xA0 / U+00A0) 

    ----
from http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/csets.html those "REPLACEMENT CHARACTER".
imho, they should be replace with "UNDEFINED",
since in other unicode mapping of CP874 (another Thai encoding,
which is almost the same as Windows-874, the TIS-620 varaints)
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP874.TXT
they also use "UNDEFINED".
you may interesting in some comments from
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127755
:)
regards,
Art
