None as far as I know, which sort of destroys the whole plan. It would sure
be nice if MSIE and Navigator started "quietly" supporting SCSU, in the same
way that they "quietly" (to the average user) began supporting UTF-8.
Unfortunately, you don't hear much about SCSU, and in particular the Unicode
Consortium doesn't really seem to promote it much (although they may be
trying to avoid the "too many UTF's" syndrome).
