But do you have a problem with it _because it's disregarding the standard_, or for a more rational reason? 13114448 seems to suggest the former. I don't think "the Unicode people themselves" noticed a particular problem with disregarding standards, but rather put something into the standard because they figured they saw a real problem. It's this problem we have been discussing, but whether it's in the standard or not is mostly a non-issue for me.
