It seems fairly clear by now that the real blocking issue is the perception, or reaction to it, that encoding Klingon would be undignified to Unicode.

Other concerns, such as IP encumbrance and insufficient demonstrated usage and faddishness, may be important factors as well. But those can be disproven in an updated proposal, or by time, whereas the "dignity" issue is a matter of perception, and no amount of work that Mark or anyone else does can disprove or change that.
