An interesting spin-off could be that the introduction of such an encoding
could lead to the introduction of chromatic font technology by industry.
I've been waiting for long for fonts embedding colorful glyphs (that
also contain enough information for rendering the embedded colors with
monochromatic patterns, also encoded in the font as a property of its
internal colormap).
While those things might be nice, the fact that this whole
infrastructure doesn't exist is the clearest indication that none of
these are anywhere close to being ready for encoding as characters, let
alone being considered in an encoding *standard*.
They continue to be solutions in search of a problem.
