He implies that, but in later messages he
1. Implies that he wants to use the Unicode private spaces, which are in 
the Unicode code space
2. Says explicitly that  his needs concern Kanji encoding, which do fit 
in the existing Unicode code space, even if you take the largest 
estimates of the number of existing Kanjis (~80000), and which are (I 
think)  already partially represented by the CJK Unified Ideograms and 
CJK Unified Ideograms extension A sets of regular Unicode.
