You're right - we have no idea what diktats we're going to comply with 
over the next decade, or how they will impact on the fonts and various 
scripts. So, while we should constantly strive to keep the metrics 
stable, I have no doubt that we will be forced to make changes to them - 
either to fix a major bug, or because of external forces. Given that at 
the moment "no-one knows" what the capital sharp s should look like, I 
think we have the liberty to solve the problem ourselves with something 
elegant, clean, and clear.

However, the width constraint point still stands as we need to have a 
monospace capital sharp s. I'm sure there's a good design solution there 
somewhere though.
