While there may not be a one-to-one mapping of word,
character, and concept every time, there are many words
and concepts which can be given (and commonly given)
in a single character.  Forcing  those to use multiple characters
to get around a policy limitation may introduce, rather than reduce confusion. 

Why would we want to insist on that?
