Apple seemed pretty concerned about displaying PUA fonts on Mac OS X
recently on this mail list. Personally, I doubt if I could get Microsoft
to care if Windows or Word was causing my monitor to spin around and
spit out pea soup, but if, say, Xerox was having trouble displaying the
correct spelling of its directors' names and mentioned that they might
have to go to Open Office for this, I'm sure Microsoft would find it
quite important. It has nothing to do with the PUA; it has to do with
whose complaining and how much weight they carry.

Why don't we add that note to other blocks? It'd be so much easier
if we could just tell the people using, say, the Hebrew block that
we've thrown something together for you, don't bother us if it doesn't
work. Surely Unicode didn't waste two planes for something that
no one can practically use.
