Yes, we will eventually, and hopefully soon, need the algorithms.

Q: So are they the same thing?
A: No. Although the character codes and encoding forms are synchronized
between Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646, the Unicode Standard imposes additional
constraints on implementations to ensure that they treat characters
uniformly across platforms and applications. To this end, it supplies an
extensive set of functional character specifications, character data,
algorithms and substantial background material that is not in ISO/IEC 10646.
End quote
That does suggest that for std::text we really should reference the Unicode
Standard, not just 10646.
So worth getting that out there now explicitly, even if it does concern
people.
