Today I don't feel very creative, perhaps because deliberating inventing bad ideas does not appeal too much to my creativeness. :-) But perhaps I have some suggestions for the less creative part of the FAQ, which is: listing the existing policies for excluding some classes of proposals. In my understanding, a few such policies are: - No precomposed ligatures which can be encoded using a sequence of existing character (possibly joined by ZWJ's); - No precomposed "accented characters" which can be composed using an existing character and one or more existing combining diacritics; - No clones of existing characters whose sole purpose is making a *logical* differentiation from some existing characters (e.g., hex digits looking identical to existing characters "0..9" and "A...F"; or a symbol for "meter" looking identical to Latin "m"); - No clones of existing characters whose sole purpose is making a *graphical* differentiation from some existing characters (e.g., a Serbian letter "t", disunified from Russian on the basis that italics looks different in the two languages); - No presentation glyphs for shapes that can already be obtained using regular characters in conjunction with ZWJ or ZWNJ. _ Marco
