Please explain in detail what do you mean on "recent activities".
N3531 fully covers every practice being in use nowadays.
Old Hungarian was never written in boustrophedon.

They belong to the third group (like Latin U+FB06), no question. They
carry no different meaning, however they differ from the original
characters in a way that they cannot be considered merely an
aesthetically more pleasing variant.
It is also worth to be clarified that there was no prior character set
encoded for Old Hungarian; Gábor Hosszú regularly refers to his home
made _font_, which mapped Old Hungarian characters to Latin code
points, using precomposed ligatures. Now he's trying to force his own
font into the UCS, first ignoring any argument, now completely
ignoring his opponents (and reality at all?)…
