Why? I dunno. But in correspondence with John Renner of
Adobe he told me that it is all Microsoft's fault, and that
Bill Gates indicagted no change likely.

Part of the missing set conforms to an ANSI recommendation
no one is following, reserving additional high-ascii 
slots for new control characters.

Sheer lunacy and a pain in the butt.
