I'm not sure I understand your question, but what I meant was this.
It is possible that some fonts (and documents) have already been
created where the implementers took a look at the Standard, said "ah,
the 'MULTI-REST' is really a double whole rest", and went ahead and
used it as such. If we change the normative reference glyph for
MULTI-REST, it will indeed bring it in line with the name, but it may
produce backward-incompatible encoding.
