I know that there has been resistance for CHT, CHS, JPN, and KOR solutions
that involved anything that would de-emphasize the existing system of
specific ideographs for specific code points and the support for 100% round
tripping of data to and from Unicode. Because of this, any attempt to
"synthesize" characters, whether from strokes, vowels, consonants, or pieces
of chewing gum, has met with resistance.
