http://www.unicode.org/review/
Review periods for the new item closes on January 27, 2004.
Please see the page for links to discussion and relevant documents.
Briefly, the new issue is:
Issue #27 Joiner/Nonjoiner in Combining Character Sequences
Unicode 4.0 describes the structure of Khmer syllables, saying that they
may contain an interior ZWJ. There is a problem with this that needs to be
resolved in 4.0.1, because some of the characters later in the syllable can
be combining characters. This paper describes a proposal with to fix this
problem. As a part of the proposal, a choice has to be made among two
alternatives.
