    David,

    They’re welcome to use the private use are for whatever purpose they
    want to. Doug was saying that there’s no point in directing them to
    the PUA to demonstrate their idea’s support in a significant user base
    since its very nature prevents them to be encoded in the standard the
    first place.

    It’s all about semantics: Unicode is a standard for encoding writing
    systems and associated symbolism. There’s is indeed a need to
    standardise encoding of a lot more type of data out there, however
    these must constitute the base of another standard. They are free to
    start.

    Nice one, Doug.

    Regards,
    Ádám
