Some of these scripts are in the PUA Conscript registry. Perhaps if a
significant body of text using a PUA encoding built up and was used for
interchange between many interested parties then it could be considered for
promotion into the standard.
On the subject of it taking hundreds of years to fill up the reserved space,
and the lack of available characters perhaps the most likely event for
filling it is contacting aliens! How come the Klingons only have one
language and script? :-) (Or did one of the movies have a diffent collection
of glyphs?)
