The page you are referring to is for SC2 documents, which is where you
can download the ballot documents from, but which is not the
repository for proposals and other working group documents.
You will find that the page for WG2 is much easier to use:
<http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/>
The WG2 registry does have all the proposal documents, as well as
dispositions of comments, and WG2 meeting minutes and resolutions. I
would recommend that anyone with a serious interest in the development
of Unicode bookmark with this page, and visit it regularly.
