Doug and Peter have provided some good advice with respect to such
suspicions. My apologies to Peter Constable for my failure to
understand exactly what was being dismissed earlier in this thread.
Quoting from https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2025/25010-script-wg-report.pdf
"We deem the differences demonstrated in the proposal to not constitute
differences in plain text. No evidence of a document that would make a
distinction between the corresponding characters in the different code
pages was provided."
That seems coherent enough. If a simple and concise exhibit can be made
showing the desired distinction making a difference in plain text, then
that would be a logical next step. Evidence illustrating data loss in
round-tripping would also be helpful. Input from the user community
supporting retaining distinctions in Unicode should help the effort.
