The original intent was that if you think you're writing "platform"
software, you could consider starting at the top of the "Corporate Use
subarea"; and if you think you're an "end user" you could consider starting
at the bottom of the "End User subarea". This would give a way for
platforms to sort of avoid colliding with real end-user codepoints.
But of course, as Michael points out:
