Re: CLDR and ICU

That is a complete, utter red herring.

   - There are hundreds of default-ignorable code points, valid in
   XML, that won't show at all in your browser.
   - There are hundreds of thousands of reserved code points, valid in XML,
   that won't show anything but a box in your browser.
   - Aside from them, if you are like most people, you don't have fonts
   that fully cover Unicode, tens of thousands of characters, that won't
   show anything but a box in your browser.
   - There are hundreds of combining marks which, if in sequences, cannot
   be recognized in most browsers.

This thread is getting tiresome.
