The script code standard says "In general, script codes shall be added to ISO 15924 when the script has been coded in ISO/IEC 10646, and when the script is agreed, by experts in ISO 15924/RA-JAC to be unique and a *candidate for encoding in the UCS*." We generally assign the script code when the script is in the pipeline for a near-future version of Unicode, which demonstrates that it's "a candidate for encoding". We also want the name of the script to be settled, so that the script code can be roughly mnemonic for the name. markus
