Michael, you've seen what they are using. How will the community be served when type designers start creating fonts that have a cap-height glyph for 0294 supplemented by a modified capital P?
If a band of Rumple-stiltskin Latins from Caesar's administration suddenly awoke from their 2000 year slumber, reviewed the situation and then pronounced, "This 'w' is not acceptable to us; you shall be permitted to inscribe an additional sound from your barbaric northern tongue using an O split in two parts, and one size is adequate," how excited with their decision do you think we'd be?
