Ken, thanks for the prompt reply - I'm glad that this discrepancy has been noted
by Unicode. Maybe what I'm really trying to ask is, if sometime in the future we
start to run out of space in the BMP, could U+9FB0 through U+9FFF be
reallocated to some new script, or is the allocation of these 80 codepoints to
the CJK block permanent and irrevocable ?
Regards,
Andrew
