Okay then, how about this: Prohibit a Han code point iff it has only
"G" sources (China/Singapore).
That might prohibit a few characters unnecessarily, but it will make
sure that Taiwan, Japan, and Korea are able to use all their characters,
and will leave the maximum flexibility for China & Singapore to define
how to fold the remaining characters if they decide that's what they
want to do.
I wouldn't recommend this course, but if most of the Chinese community
wanted to do this, I don't see why the rest of us should object.
