Which script does the small community of native Aramaic speakers that still
exists use to write their own language?
Would they be happy if Aramaic was "unified" with Hebrew? I don't know but I
suspect those that live in Lebanon or Syria might not - and it could even cause
them political problems.
Since Unicode encodes scripts I don't yet see a compelling reason not to encode
the script separately. If there is a one-to-one relationship between characters
in two scripts it is not all that difficult to configure software to find
matches in either script when doing searches and not that difficult to
transpose from one script to another if required.
