> At first introduce incompatibility by breaking unknown number of millions of existing documents of our users, to allow *some other* users to do what they need; and only then start thinking about doing it properly

No, it doesn't work that way. While Unicode is an important standard, it's only
of secondary importance to an office suite. Its primary goal is *not* creating
a reference comformant implementation of the standard; rather, it should use
the standard to the extent it needs to serve its users most. And if legacy
requires that some statements of standard be violated to keep existing
documents intact, that should be that way, until a better design is invented
and implemented, which would make possible to please both sides.
