That's nice, except the BMP doesn't encode all of Chinese, and it includes a number of weird control characters for compatibility with ASCII. Like Vertical Tab. Who uses Vertical Tab anymore? The dream of a 16-bit Unicode washed up on the rocks of CJK scripts. It's dead and it isn't going to be revived. You can argue for a simpler standard, with fewer assigned codepoints, but the original BMP isn't it and was never going to be it. |

I concede this point. I still don't see why the Unicode Consortium should spend effort standardizing non-text as text.
