Doug,
you put your finger on it. Any form of combining scheme is doomed to fail.
This includes the current approach of "Regional indicators".
You're wrong. The Régional indicators failed because they were encoded
at the character level, so that their scope of effect was supposed to
extended to arbitrary lengths of texts.
Why you call my position "wrong" when you agree with it, I don't know.
