Fine for you Swedes, but surely you must have some Danish and Norwegian friends ;-)

As you know Mark, the reason why IAB recommended U+0626 to not be used is because that was added after the combination of the codepoints to the Unicode Standard.

In the case of the o with stroke (and other cases) the decision could be the other way around.
