    Its always fun when people who were unaware of an implementation talk about
    how a fundamental change in it would "not be difficult". :-)

    Not speaking for Microsoft here, but offhand this strikes me as a positively
    overingtonian idea that I would never recommend. Please forward extensive
    discussion on this point to a PUA mailing list as it has nothing to do with
    Unicode....

    They are still user defined characters.

    Since this is an issue that you had never ever noticed until now, I can't
    imagine that it has severely impacted you? :-)
