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? -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis vom dies!
