True, there's no enforcement. We'll just have to rely on mutual
respect.

I see no real problem with other scripts using this space. Even
if they overlap, it will still let us know which scripts are
operating in conflict with others.
I only wish I knew how to get in touch with them. I e-mailed
them months ago with the Deini script (ED00-ED1F) but apparently
nobody's bothing to maintain the site any more.

Omniglot was very quick to post it to their site, but they just
document the scripts and aren't making any attempt to "register"
anything, or "reserve" codepoints.

What I'd really like to do is create language packs for
different OS's too. I already have a Windows keyboard driver.
