I had a similar discussion some time ago with a member of this list
regarding encoding of flags. It's an interesting idea which I think
deserves some thought, but it's not character encoding; and therefore it
doesn't belong in Unicode, or so I would have supposed.
I make no claim here about whether localizable sentences are interesting
or deserving of thought. I only explain why I, interested in language
and communication, don't believe Unicode is the proper venue for them.

I'm not Erkki, but what I would have said, with my old-fashioned view of
character encoding, is: because it's not character encoding.
