It kills one of your expectations of Unicode, but your problem is
plain text.
You want font changes in plain text. Unicode doesn't support them
without (stateful!) language tags. So use HTML, based on Unicode,
instead.
I too am deceived by plain text, because it cannot display
mathematical formulas with greek symbols in subscript and
superscript. So what? I use HTML, based on Unicode, for these
purposes.
And if I were to typeset my father's German-English dictionary with
the German words in Fraktur and the English words in Roman, I wouldn't
succeed to do it in plain text either.
