Ah. I forgot. Richard, I'd come across these characters independently some
time ago, when at the Beijing meeting of WG2 I'd collected a number of
books on Yi, in which these characters occur. I think your arguments about
the productivity of the curl in the IPA are spot on.

In short, I think these characters should be added and that there should be
no impediment to doing so. In fact, in September I was updating one of the
fonts Asmus and I use to prepare tables and I added these characters for
future use.
