Ah. I just saw
BASESET "ISO 646:1983//CHARSET
International Reference Version
(IRV)//ESC 2/5 4/0"
BASESET "ISO Registration Number 100//CHARSET
ECMA-94 Right Part of
Latin Alphabet Nr. 1//ESC 2/13 4/1"
in HTML3.2 and
BASESET "ISO Registration Number 177//CHARSET
ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 UCS-4 with
implementation level 3//ESC 2/5 2/15 4/6"
Oh, you're absolutely right. My mistake, ISO-646 is US-ASCII, I forgot
that it formally changed to ISO-10646 in HTML 3.2. However, ISO-10646
is mentioned in the prose of RFC 1866 several times and implementations
are advised that numeric character references (beyond latin1) should
reference those code points. However, HTML 2 does formally use Latin 1
(ISO-8859-1) for char refs, but these code points are a subset of
ISO-10646 anyway.
