There are several cases where one might wonder whether a lower case
letter used in words is actually anything but a glyph variant, but an
upper case letter has nevertheless been created; in several cases the
evidence presented for the typical upper case form seems to have been
Michael Everson's taste. Given those precedents, the only argument I
can see against an upper case s-j would be evidence that it does not
change form when capitalised. If my memory serves me right, it is the
lower casing that Unicode cannot correct; if s-j uppercased to S-J when
first encoded, the untailored uppercasing could still be changed to the
2-character string SJ if that turned out to be the majority use.
