There is such a thing already, and it's called Unicode. The idea is
that if you want to interchange a character you make it part of
Unicode.
A lot of people seem to want to use the PUA for interchange, though.
For example, ISO SC34/WG1 is thinking of adding a facility for
declaring the identity of PUA code points (as used by a particular
user/organization) to their XML schema language. I am not sure that
that is a very good idea, but it remains to see what kind of proposal
they actually come up with.
