It can be hard to find precedent for something which has never been 
done, such as standardizing a writing system for which IP protection is 
claimed.

The probability of the estate filing a frivolous lawsuit over an 
encoding that doesn't even mention any of the IP seems slim.  The 
likelihood of the Consortium losing such a lawsuit seems even slimmer.  
But the only way to prove it either way would be to put it to the test.  
We can probably agree that the Consortium isn't eager to put it to the test.
