Oh sorry, perhaps I should clarify - my statement was intended as a
rhetoric.
I am in agreement that there SHOULD be an exclusion of symbols,
dingbats, other special characters etc (not just MAY). Perhaps not so
much as a technical requirement, but initially to miminize problems of
confusion. And confusion will be indeed a real problem. Just look at
U+2460 to U+24EA as an example. Imagine U+249B.com (20..com) :-)
