I think Doug is right. The point is, the situations are *not* analogous: in the Fraktur case, there is nobody that wants a distinction; in the Phoenician case, there appear to be people who do. Doug's point is, if there are *lot* of people that will use a separate Phoenician block, then that will validate that it was a useful thing to do; but if there are *not*, then the unification-camp has little cause for concern about existence of distinctly-encoded data.
