Let's suppose I invent a character. Either I create documents with it
encoded as PUA, or I get it into Unicode first. If the latter, it's
script status will likely have been resolved first. If it's PUA, my docs
aren't useful to you anyway unless we've got some agreement on the
character coding, so a private agreement on language tag would also be
possible. 

(My assertions that you can correct :-)
