The presentation initially made me think that the author was going to identify some major flaw in the entire concept of Unicode. By the end, all I managed to get out of the paper was a bunch of information about the number of characters used in CJKV languages and a whine about how Unicode hasn't included them all yet. I fail to see any identified problem that isn't neatly resolved by just including the rest of the characters. Those people who care about them can then find fonts that contain them and the rest of us can get on with our lives and ignore them like we ignore all the other character sets for languages we don't need to use.
