Neither Unicode Inc. or ISO/IEC 10646 would _implement_ QID emoji.

That is correct. I should have made clear that I was referring to the specification for QID emoji rather than QID emoji. How quite to express precisely and concisely the formal acceptance of the specification by Unicode Inc. to become a published Unicode Inc. document giving the go-ahead for implementation by anyone (not just software vendors) is somewhat difficult without using the word 'implement'.

Peter within his post also wrote  as follows.

The PRI doc mentions the possibility of a registry for QID sequences; a key benefit of a registry is that it may mitigate against these non-interop risks. But the current proposal does not in fact provide any mitigations for these issues other than the possibility that a QID sequence might be at some point become an RGI sequence.

I put forward on Friday 8 November 2019 a suggestion that might help towards solving the problem.
