I'm thinking wording something like this is more appropriate "Noncharacters may be openly interchanged, but it is inadvisable to do so without prior agreement, since at each stage any of them might be replaced by a REPLACEMENT CHARACTER or otherwise disposed of, at the sole discretion of that stage's implementation." I think that would invite again the kinds of implementations that triggered Corrigendum #9, where you couldn't use CLDR files with Gnome-based tools (plain text editors, file diff tools, command-line terminal) if the files contained noncharacters. (CLDR data uses them for boundary mappings in collation data.) markus
I don't understand your point. Are you saying that Gnome should not have the discretion to rid its inputs of noncharacters? If so, then noncharacters really are just Gc=Co ones.
