That actually made it into my Q & A page:
"Are you trying to get Ewellic added into the Unicode Standard itself?
"No. To be encoded in Unicode, a script or character must be
demonstrably useful to a much larger group of users than the small
handful of enthusiasts who have expressed interest in Ewellic. The WG2
'Principles and Procedures' document recommends 'use of the Private Use
Area... if the proposed character has an extremely small or closed
community of customers.' This is what I have done by proposing the
Ewellic alphabet for CSUR. Probably thousands of people have invented
their own alphabet; mine is perhaps just a bit better documented than
most."
