Unless the UCD contains a contrary definition only usable where the character wouldn't normally be used, in which case it is fine to try to kick the character's users in the teeth. I am referring to the belief that ZWSP separated words, whereas the UCD only defined it as a lay-out control. That outlawed belief has recently been very helpful to me in using (as opposed to testing) a nod-Lana spell-checker on Firefox. Richard.
