Correct. For those of you following the comparisons, you can probably just 
swap the UTF-5 transformations from James' draft into the two-step 
transformations (compress then Base32) in CIDNUC. That is, you can look at 
just the 10646-to-comatible-ASCII-conversion aspects of UTF-5 and CIDNUC, 
with the rest being pretty interchangeable.
