The problem is, I have a couple of German texts that I plan to
transcribe, where all I need is HYPHEN WITH DIARESIS. (It's used in a
vocabulary list to indicate mutation of the vowel for the plural form.)
The Lithuanians only needed a few more combining characters for
pedagogal reasons, as put forth in their proposal a few years ago.
There's so many places that could use just one or two more combining
characters, that Unicode has basically drawn a line in the sand. (Also,
it messes with the Composition/Decomposition algorithm to add more
composed characters.)
