Caveat: I have only scanned the document, but what I did see
looks very sensible. For the record, I do respect Unicode to
the point of calling it inspiring, and that is not commonplace.
Nevertheless, despite all the excellent, careful, thoughtful,
heartfelt and informed work done to create Unicode, it does have some
weaknesses.
In particular, some versions of a browser render Vietnamese text
with the uniquely-VN letters displaced in both x and y, bold, and
maybe a different point/pixel size. The rendering looks like something
the cat dragged in, with hints of a ransom note. Switching fonts and
weight/slant within a word just should not happen, unless the author
explicitly intends it to happen.
I still love Unicode, but I also intend to study this document with
considerable care.
