It is shocking to me how blithe you seem to be about security. A huge
swathe of potential problems (including digit spoofing in Brahmic
scripts) is solved with a script-mixing ban. There are many other
potential problems which need addressing too, within scripts.
I stand by my caveat. I don't see a better or safer solution.
