Higher standard? If I'm working on "Old High German" on a system that only
supports Unicode 2.1, I'd be much happier for it to look for U+0225 in my
font and display what it finds there, rather than not displaying the
character, refusing to read the file, or silently munging the file (in order
of evilness.) It is more important for me to be able to process the file
and lose some functionality than not to be able to read the file.
