I realize that existing compatibility decompositions are a rag-bag,
especially those marked with the generic <compat> tag rather than one
of the specific tags such as <font>, <initial>, or <super>.  I wonder
what principles, if any, can be enunciated for giving a newly introduced
character a compatibility decomposition at the present time?

In particular, is it sufficient that the character strongly resembles an
existing character or combination of characters, but for one or another
reason needs to be distinct from it?
