Are you stating that the document I have - "International Standard
ISO 8859-1, First edition 1987-02-15" - isn't valid any more? Are there
other changes than the characters you name? (It seems strange to change
a published standard so seriously.)
Now _I'm_ confused! My copy of that _same_ document (ISO 8859-1 First
Edition 1987-02-15; Reference number ISO 8859-1: 1987 (E)) _does_ have
the multiplication and division signs exactly as Martin described.
Quoting from Table 1, page 4: "13/07 MULTIPLICATION SIGN" and "15/07
DIVISION SIGN".
