They will be largely similar -- and identical for Chapters 1 through
5 -- but there are various reorganizations in the latter part
of the book, to account for all the additions to the standard.

For Unicode 4.0:
Chapter 9: South Asian Scripts
Chapter 10: Southeast Asian Scripts

For book references, you can expect changes in the future as
well. There are no guarantees, from version to version, of the
exact contents and scope of each chapter in the book. For
people who want stability of references, you should simply
point to the standard as a whole, or make references such
as "See the discussion of the Devanagari script in the
Unicode Standard, online at ..." Then let your readers navigate
the online version, via its Table of Contents and/or Index,
to find the section they are interested in.
