This just isn't going to happen, so people should look elsewhere for solutions. I don't believe UTC could make such a decision and retain any sort of credibility. As has been discussed at length, it isn't possible to make this kind of change now because of the deep impact it would have on the frozen normalizations for these codepoints in deployed protocols and software. A solution with CGJ has been proposed, which is very general and can be applied to this and other such situations. Rick
