Understood. But randomly encountered one-offs used to be extremely rare.
And reliably spotting a capital form takes some expertise. Assuming I've
been sensitized for that since Unicode 5.1, my own random sample shows
increased frequency of anecdotal encounters in recent years, not just
pre/post 5.1.
What we might need to sample other than publications would be a
representative subset of German typographers / designers to understand
whether we are unintentionally putting roadblocks by the lack of more
complete software support for capital sharp s.
