Absolutely. And we need to remember the distinction between Unicode and eutocode. Presumably it is OK to use PUA characters within eutocode and with fonts specially designed for eutocode. But the details of this are an internal matter for eutocode and not for this list.
I feel that an important thing to remember is the dividing line between what is in Unicode and what is in particular advanced format font technology solutions which some other organizations supply. ...
If you are referring here to Uniscribe, in fact it is available on and suitable for Windows 98, I think also 95, and is installed when Internet Explorer is upgraded on these systems. Even the latest versions which support complex accentuation of Latin and Cyrillic work on these systems, though I am not sure how they will be distributed.... Those advanced font format technologies may be very good, I do not know as I have no experience of using them, yet they are not suitable for platforms such as Windows 95 and Windows 98, ...
An alternative advanced technology, Graphite, from SIL (see http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&cat_id=RenderingGraphite) is supported on Windows 98 and later.
