Peter was just questioning the word "pending" in the phrase "pending allocation in the Unicode charset".
Hey, I was just thinking it's been a long time since we had a big flame war here about Unicode.
Why does the Euro need a special character anyway? Most of the currencies it replaces don't have a special character. Perhaps we could just refer to it as 'The currency formerly known as the Euro' and thus avoid having to use a special symbol...
