This is incorrect.  Voting terminated on 1992-04-10, and ISO DIS 10646
became ISO 10646, a fully official International Standard.  It has not
been published and made available, yet that I know of.  Partly due to
the size of the standard, partly due to the number of comments with
votes, which I think have been reconciled by now (with the exception of
Turkey's irrational request to replace ISO 8859-1 in the 00xx "row" with
their favorite set, and Japan's more reasonable concerns).

... and then some.  The DIS was actually "only" 710 pages.
