I'd have to agree here.
On a slightly (although maybe only slightly) related matter, what about
if Unicode didn't judge how difficult it should be to display national
flags. Creating a way to display flags from two-tag combinations and
then later realizing that a sequence of such tags didn't locally parse,
and the whole thing has to be redone, doesn't seem like a very good
alternative to just encoding these things (not that I think that just
encoding these is a very good alternative either, though).
