What is a stylistic variant or not is quite a bit more complicated for
CJK than for scripts such as Latin. In some contexts, something may be
just a stylistic variant, whereas in other contexts (e.g. person
registries,...), it may be more than a stylistic distinction.
Also, in contrast to the issue discussed in the current thread, there's
no consistent or widely deployed solution for such CJK variants in rich
text scenarios such as HTML.
