Request about Bengali/Bangla

BDS 1520:2000 contains a BANGLA LETTER KHANDATA and it has been proposed
for addition to the UCS. I am at the WG2 meetings in Athens where the
character is being discussed, but we don't know how to evaluate it.

What is this character and how is it used?

Another question, is does BDS 1520:2000 completely replace BDS 1520:1997,
or is the old standard still valid (and being implemented)?

What are the implications for interoperability between this standard and
ISCII standards?
