William’s suggestion of floating a proposal for handling italics with VS14 might be an example of the old saying about “putting the cart before the horse”.
Well, a proposal just about using VS14 to indicate a request for an italic version of a glyph in plain text, including a suggestion of to which characters it could apply, would test whether such a proposal would be accepted to go into the Document Register for the Unicode Technical Committee to consider or just be deemed out of scope and rejected and not considered by the Unicode Technical Committee.
If the proposal were allowed to become included in the Document Register of the Unicode Technical Committee then if other people wish to submit comments and other proposals then that would be possible as it would have become established that such a topic is deemed acceptable for placing into the Document Register of the Unicode Technical Committee.
