Contextual rule for MODIFIER LETTER PRIME?

[Michel SUIGNARD]

I agree with the position expressed here. As long as 02B9 is allowed/requested in some context, it is just as easy to allow it in the protocol. Context conditions are just too complicated for that character and are bound to be controversial. I am too enthused though because of its resemblance to apostrophe (0027), but on the other end it will make supporters of many writing systems very happy.

This would make mine (and many others) life much easier.

Can we get consensus on this?
