So far as personal gaiji are concerned, this is a solution in search
of a problem, because there is a technically much superior approach to
the gaiji problem available via registered Ideographic Variation
Sequences.
So far as logos are concerned, legal issues are likely to keep all but
a very few out of the standard. I do know that Apple doesn't want its
logo encoded, which is why we've never asked for it, and if anybody
else asked for it, we would object. We're completely content to leave
it in the PUA.
So far as public reviews are concerned, that's really not the way to
do exploration of a possible architectural change. You'd really have
to come up with a specific encoding proposal or at least document to
death a serious need to encode either entity.
