Again, not saying Unicode should do this, but:
Doesn't there at least have to be a well-defined convention for
representing flags before any of this works? How do I represent:
1. the flag of the United States
2. the flag of the state of Colorado
3. the flag of Adams County, Colorado
4. the flag of the city of Thornton
Not all of these might be defined right away, but an extensible
structure within which to define them would have to be in place.
