IIRC Latin-1 wasn't touched at all (at least the mapping to Unicode
wasn't changed), but Latin-15 was added.  I very much doubt that this
standard will be widely adopted because the modifications compared to
Latin-1 (Euro, addition of some French characters) are incompatible
with the most widespread Latin-1 flavor.

BTW: Do you know any use of the internation currency sign (except the
end-of-file marker in Microsoft Write)?
