Um,
What I think is that *I* for one am certainly not going to invest any
effort in pseudo-coding scripts in a "PreScript" Unicode Registry.
The work to get scripts proposed and encoded is enough. If someone is
interested in a script, and wants to build fonts for it based on
script proposals, he or she can do that, assigning PUA numbers to the
glyphs for testing purposes. When the script is standardized then
real Unicode numbers can be added.
If users need to exchange data in a not-yet-encoded script, then they
should agree what PUA numbers they are using between them. That's
what ConScript is for. (We don't get a lot of people beating down our
doors to get stuff encoded though, and no, Doug, I haven't forgotten
Ewellic.)
