You just need to ensure that Emacs follows what standards and usage
documents say, at least where that's possible within implementation
constraints.
That is not the way we deal with standards in the GNU Project.
We don't "ensure" that GNU Programs follow standards.
We treat standards as suggestions, and we follow them when and if
that seems like the best way to make GNU useful.
When Unicode gives us information about the usage of characters, that
information can be useful for deciding what to do, and we should pay
attention to it. But this does not mean we necessarily follow
Unicode's recommendations. Following Unicode's recommendations might
be a good default policy when we have no reason to do otherwise.
But Unicode's recommendations are not the final decision.
