After recceiving your e-mail I sent a short reply, then myself searched the  
website for the latest official notification in this behalf. It  appears what 
M S Prabhakara has summed up in an  article in  the Hindu following 
Government's proposal (on Feb 27, 2006)to change Assam into  Asom reflects the actual 
state of affairs.May be you've already read his long  
article(http:www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl2311/stories/20060616001408200.htm):
 
 
"So, the tension continues between, on the one hand,  nationalistic 
assertions seeking to distance the land and its people from India,  perhaps even strive 
and attain sovereignty; and on the other hand, the  reluctance by the 
intellectual establishment (which also feeds separatist  ideologies) to accept any 
modification of an unwieldy and unnecessarily  complicated alphabet where some 
of the letters are identified by numbers, not  sounds, because these sounds are 
exactly alike."
