Well, I cannot say that there will be no further development of Arial
Unicode MS. However, both Microsoft and Monotype (last I spoke to them)
are not heavily pursuing the development of pan-unicode fonts because
there are several reasons why they are *not* a "beautiful idea". Some
reasons were mentioned in a post on this list just a few days ago (I
forget now from whom).
