Thanks Mark, I know that emoji != present in there but I need these
formatted files for static analysis so I've just copied and pasted from a
source file what I use to perform some validation check.
(as side note, if these are incomplete I have problems ... any more updated
source with same format?)

However, back to the topic, I agree with your last two points and this is
exactly the case:

   - the default style is text ... because
   - these have been in Unicode forever ( even standard ASCII for two of
   them ) so I'd expect, since somehow part of the emoji family, to have them
   compatible with variation selectors

If this will be the common agreement, how long could it take to be
effectively in the tr51 document ?

Thanks again for all links and details

Best Regards
