"Semantic" selectors are pure pseudo-coding, because if the semantic

We don't disagree, that's exactly what I meant here : plain character
codes for expresssing the semantics, even if many renderers or
collators will treat them as ignorable.
No, we do disagree.
The Unicode model is to have all information about character identity
(what you call "semantics") into the character code, not into a sequence
of character and "ignorable" attributes.
Separating the identity of the character into attributes would be
something very novel and best not attempted.
