Understood. But randomly encountered one-offs used to be extremely rare. And reliably spotting a capital form takes some expertise. Assuming I've been sensitized for that since Unicode 5.1, my own random sample shows increased frequency of anecdotal encounters in recent years, not just pre/post 5.1.
What we might need to sample other than publications would be a representative subset of German typographers / designers to understand whether we are unintentionally putting roadblocks by the lack of more complete software support for capital sharp s.
