LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S officially recognized

[David Faulks via Unicode]

I think, and others agree, that this is a bad thing. Those who want SS can simply use 'S' and 'S', ẞ was encoded for those who wanted to use a capital form of ß. They would be annoyed if they found that the typeface they wanted subverted their intentions.

 Is it possible to design fonts that will
 render ẞ as SS?
 
 So we could choose between ẞ and SS
 by just selecting the proper font, 
 without changing the text itself.
 
 Or perhaps there will be a "font
 feature" to select this rendering 
 within the same font.
