As Andrew West said, the answer to that is no, and the proposal
itself says so.

I'm sorry, but it is *that* comment which is complete rubbish.
DIN was formally represented at the WG2 meeting. It was *their*
proposal, and it was the German NB arguing for it at the meeting,
and of course also voting for the relevant resolution.
Read the proposal itself, WG2 N3227R. It is publicly available:
http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/N3227.pdf
(Make sure your Acrobat version is up-to-date, as the document is
using some feature that will crash older versions.)
And its source is: Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), Technical
Committee NIA-01-29-01 Coded Character Sets.
If you have a problem with that, please take it up with DIN, but
it would be preferable not to make erroneous statements about
it on this list.
