And, it's not just those millions of CJK users to contend
with, there are probably internet user communities, like
the "e-truscans", consisting of a mere handful of members.
Seriously, members of many linguistic communities may
have a need to exchange information involving musical
notation. Math alphabets are not only used along with
many languages, but across several sciences, as well. The
SMP isn't just for dead languages, some scripts in modern
use may well end up encoded there. Even for the dead
scripts, there are scholars, enthusiasts, antiquarians, and
students of various disciplines who would enjoy the ability
to store, exchange, and display information consistently.
