Mr. Michael Everson has been actively doing research on Indic
scripts(particularly Devanagari) since many years and he is one of the
active members of Unicode consortium. I know of such proposal submitted few
year ago. But the task is still pending since inclusion of new characters
in Unicode is a lengthy and complex process. It also needs approval from
government and scholars. For some unknown reason that work slowed down
after introduction of Indic scripts in Unicode. Also, any standard for a
language is an issue under the control of state government. The central
government's task is to co-ordinate activities. Unfortunately, some state
governments (particularly Tamil) in India are unhappy with the current
Unicode/ISCII model, and as a result the entire issue is becoming more
complex :-(

However, our central government is taking right steps in that direction by
once again starting initiatives to resolve pending issues. Let us hope for
the best.
