Maybe this should be a Unicode Myth for Mark Davis's collection,
something along the lines of "Encoding (or considering) script A means
script B has to wait longer before being encoded (or considered)."
Another, related one that is surfacing in this discussion is "The fact
that script A has been (or will be) encoded before script B implies that
the UTC (or WG2) thinks more highly of script A."
