First a correction: UTC has not yet, unfortunately, actually *refused* to
encode Klingon. It still sits on the books. (I think they should formally
refuse to encode Klingon, but that's my personal opinion.)
But let me re-phrase my original argument. My question is not:
"Has anyone made a survey of things that people might use?"
but rather
"Are people widely exchanging, for example, characters that
are listed in the ConScript registry?"
I don't think they are. At least, they're not doing it in a widespread
enough manner to be a noticeable problem that needs to be fixed.
I'm looking for a problem to which all of these engineering solutions are
being proposed and discussed. I don't yet see anything that needs to be
solved. I see a theoretically chaotic situation, not an actually chaotic
situation.
But, maybe I'm just not in the groove, and I don't know what communities
are using these PUA characters. So I'm asking about instances and examples
of actual usage.
