You do enjoy making things complicated\, William. :-)
This whole system is prety much not needed, since as a rule the people who
are interested in a particular script are not really interested in other
scripts and I cannot imagine formats like OpenType being extended to support
it (nor could I imagine a need for fonts that would support two or more
scripts via such a system).
If people need to a private agreement on the encoding, a font that uses the
PUA mappings is really all they need.
