Variation selectors are already 'defined' for the decimal digits U+0030 to U+0039.  It would, however, mess up string comparison operations that weren't smart enough to ignore variation selectors.

Also, for the variation selectors to work for the end user, it requires the same technologies whose lack of support is why we are discussing this in the first place, doesn’t it? So, defining the corresponding variation selectors would not make the end user see the correct glyphs earlier.
