I'm not really arguing with you, just giving a slightly difference of 
emphasis...

I don't think that failure to support the SMPs is a deal-breaker. Obviously, 
if you specifically need some subset of Unicode in the SMPs, say Phoenician, 
then it may be, but I'm just talking about general use. Given the generally 
poor support for non-ASCII characters many applications provide, any Unicode 
support is better than none.
