To be clear, I absolutely respect typographic diversity, and certainly don't regard ß as a foreign particle. However, I also have respect for the necessity, diversity, and history of ß, which is why I don't find the Dresdner Form of the capital visually acceptable.
ß is a simple and elegant joining of a long s and a short s. To "construct" a capital version which randomly borrows completely unrelated features from upside down versions of other uppercase characters to make something structurally similar to a ß is illogical, and hardly simple or elegant; any capital version of ß should be firmly grounded in the features of the S. I am fairly sure that we can find an acceptable, elegant, and transparent solution. And if we can't, at least we tried.
