That's a great Web page, but I couldn't find anything about the contents 
of ISO 10646-1:1993 in there.  The Ada-95 RM, chapter 2.1(4,5,8,9) mentions
Row 00 of ISO 10646 in many places, but the RM doesn't say what that means.
I'd hate to waste $373 to find out that Row 00 is only a cryptic way of
referring to a subset of Ada.Characters.Latin_1.  What is this mysterious
Row 00?

BTW, ANSI, in New York City, quoted me these prices for the ISO standards
listed in Ada-95 RM, chapter 1.2:
