Before we can make code point allocation, we need to agree on whether
it is going to be zero or next number. As you can see from the emails
in this list there is not agreement on this yet, so even if authors
make IANA request to ask for assignment, when it comes to me (as for
expert review) few days later, I would wait for the comments on the
list to agree on which number we are going to allocate.

Now it seems more people are supporting allocating something else than
zero...

And then we will then come back to this list to finish this
discussion...
