Agreed.  From the discussions here however, it seems that CJK capacity is of
more concern than non-CJK.  I have heard quite a few raise the issue that 15
characters for CJK is not enough, but I think generally, non-CJK having ~30
codepoint capacity is ok.  Also this was suggested by the ACE design team.

Yes, I agree that there is an amount of complexity added to DUDE, and you
also agree that the amount is small.
Additionally, ACE37 maintains the one-mode system that I think is comparably
less complex than a separate state machine that is required by AMC-ACE-W.
