And not complete. That is simply the draft for the PDAM
(preliminary draft amendment) to 10646. It will be subject
to national ballot comments, which will, no doubt, result
in further additions, as well as some minor modifications to
what is currently there. And then it will go to *another*
round of ballotting after that, the FPDAM ("F" for final),
where more changes could happen.
Only after *that* will the UTC feel confident that the
dust has settled enough to standardize the results as
Unicode 4.1. Don't be expecting any of this to be
final this year, or even *next* year. The next character
additions to the Unicode Standard are likely to be
published in early 2005.

More likely it would be after a few two many
Guinesses.
