I'd certainly support it. It would solve some problems very neatly. I
myself have actually seen a capital sharp s in print. A nice response to
automatic capitalization which leaves a small sharp S in the middle of a
capitalized word (MAßSTAB). It had a flat top and a kind of serif. It was
neat.

I will not, however, initiate a proposal. Germans can do that.

I have other lost causes to fight for. :-)
