Aaeh, to clarify this -- this thing covers the simple mappings (if
any; i.e., there may be only extended mappings, say), but it
contains bits which indicate wether there is something extended
available. Those are separate, then, and not covered in there.

I'm not with this project at the moment, but looking at the
alloc/Pipeline.html it *could* be that those few characters alone
will add maybe 10 (sorry..) more slots, if the presence of SMALL
or CAPITAL indicates they'll be Lt/Lu/Ll or will have an entry in
`SpecialCasing.txt'.
I hope that this wonderful thing that is the UCS will not become
blurred -- memory size is still a concern for some people.
(Reading how the process works doesn't give a lot of hope, yet
that is what came to my mind.)
Ciao,
