it was approved once already, just retracted after that fact pending further 
developments in terms of application/developer support (editors not sucking 
so much for example) ... so does it really need to be approved again ?

i'd say the work that needs to be done is documentation on how to make it 
work ... for example, i use nano and know nothing of unicode, so i really 
have no clue how to verify my work and even if i could verify it, how to 
rectify a bum editor
