I agree, though I don't think it will be hard to figure out which 
changes are related to UTF-8 and which are not.

I am waiting for three things before I can update 
draft-ietf-ltru-4645bis-01, which is set to expire in less than a week:

1. The results of the current round of changes to ISO 639-3, scheduled 
to be published in the next few days.

2. A resolution on the question of whether to use extlangs or not.

3. A resolution on the UTF-8 question.

While I can issue more than one draft in succession, just as Addison and 
Mark can, it seems we ought to be able to address these last few issues 
soon, considering that our charter page still has both drafts scheduled 
to go to IETF Last Call by January 2007.

At which point we can exorcise the devil?
