Particularly as they regularly write text in both Coptic and Greek and this distinction is better expressed in plain text than in the font.
This seems to me to be a key issue: would there be a need to include words or passages of eany of these early Semitic scripts in Hebrew text? If so, they warrant separate encoding. (There is the case of the Tetragrammaton already mentioned, but it may be an exception.)
