We should first do a full review of the latest Unicode standard and see what's missing.  I think there might be parts of older Unicode versions (even < Unicode 5) that are not yet implemented.  Chapter 3 is a good place where to start, but I'm not sure that's enough -- there are a few TRs that should be considered as well.
If we manage to catch up with Unicode 6, then it shouldn't be too difficult to review the changes that every new version will introduce and open an issue for each (or a single issue if the changes are limited).
FWIW I'm planning to look at the conformance of the UTF codecs and fix them (if necessary) whenever I'll have time.
