Okay then, how about this: Prohibit a Han code point iff it has only "G" sources (China/Singapore). That might prohibit a few characters unnecessarily, but it will make sure that Taiwan, Japan, and Korea are able to use all their characters, and will leave the maximum flexibility for China & Singapore to define how to fold the remaining characters if they decide that's what they want to do. I wouldn't recommend this course, but if most of the Chinese community wanted to do this, I don't see why the rest of us should object. AMC
