I think that Unicode cannot prohibit anyone from applying any
particular data transformation they like, including codepoint
conversion from CJK Compatibility Ideographs to CJK Unified Ideographs
with IVS.
If, for example, I were to write a text editor that allowed the user
to perform various transformations to a text (e.g. casing, diacritic
folding, normalization, transliteration conversions, etc.), there is
nothing that Unicode could say or do to stop me from also adding in a
facility to convert between CJK Compatibility Ideographs and their
corresponding CJK Unified Ideograph plus IVS if I so desired. As long
as my application does not purport not to modify the text, I believe
that I would remain conformant if I apply pretty much any data
transformation I like.
