I think you miss-characterize the group think here. IMNSHO, TC-SC may be a
problem but it is out of scope for our work. If its to be solved it
shouldn't be solved by this working group and probably not by the IETF.

Also, I remember our discussions about the complexity of ACE encodings and
everyone worrying about complexity. TC-SC makes all those discussions pale
to the complexity raised by TC-SC and I can only assume there are more
similar issues lurking around the corner in other scripts.
