I don't think it is too difficult to write a
standrad that is better than Unicode. In fact it
is more difficult to write one that is worse ;)

However, what makes Unicode a good is:
o It has industrial support.
o A lot of scripts are supported and documented.

I am interested. I just don't think big industrial
players will let this go. I hope time will prove I
am wrong.
