I object to any kind of idea like this.

This makes it impossible for application developers to filter, and  
there is no way it is possible to control "registration" of DISALLOWED  
codepoints, and the latter is the reason why application developers  
have to filter out DISALLOWED codepoints completely.

DISALLOWED is DISALLOWED. Forever. Period.
