DISCUSS:

(Quite possibly a "discuss discuss"...)
What would the behavior be if someone was shipping an implementation that used
a point in the 128-255 range intending for the "private use" semantics, a
conflicting codepoint was assigned via FCFS, and then needed to use the feature
with conflicting codepoint in that implementation? It seems likely that we
should discuss the plausibility of such scenarios and what options are
available to handle it.
