That isn't necessarily a problem given that the fundamental assumption of
PUA characters is that their semantics is determined by prior agreement of
the parties involved in interchange. As a solution for unencoded
characters, it has some shortcomings (and it's possible to imagine other
solutions to the problem), but it can be useful if users understand the
limitations.
BTW, Christian, I have continued to be interested in where TEI goes with
this issue as it's still an issue I need to deal with for other contexts,
though I haven't had any opportunity to give any time to it.
