    No, you can use allocated characters any way you (or someone else)
    like; including using superscript characters for superscripts (would be
    kind of surprising if you weren't allowed that).

    Yes, I often advocate restraint. But that is aimed at implementors
    (of fonts and other text supporting software components).

    No. "Higher-level protocols" (like markup) is out of scope.
