I'd rather see code pages become endangered, and code-page switching an
obscure footnote on the pages of history.
Please, don't invent any new code page systems.

Doug,
First of all flat code space is the primary functionality of Unicode
and not calling for any changes to existing encodings.
What I propose is assign about 16,000 codes to code-page switching model.
Why this suggestion?
With current flat space, one code point is only allocated to one and
only one purpose.
We can run out of code space soon.
While processing the contemporary languages and other like
mathamatical sym in flat space, the 16,000 codes in the portin that is
code page switchable will be able to support 1000ands of different
characters on each of the code.
Ie, take 16 codes. with flat space only supports 16 characters. but
with code page, can support 16 differnt purposes, each with a
capacity of 14 characters. that is 140 characters instead of just 10
flat characters.
