Frankly, this is a bit irritating, especially given the precedent of seed
encodings, where we all got saddled with a fractal encoding to appease the
"legacy" of a handful of early adopters. Now OpenSSL ships a production feature
in a LTS version with 12 commandeered unregistered codepoints from the public
range. Ok.
It's tempting to learn the lesson that as an implementor I should just design
stuff to my liking, ship it, and then expect the IETF to retcon it since it's
in production.
However, an alternative, more productive lesson is that codepoints can indeed
be treated as stable without an RFC (sometimes without even registering them!),
suggesting there is indeed no need to adopt this document.
