Good suggestion Praveen except for few distortions.

Why should we rely on Unicode-5.0. The hegemony, or so called 'dictatorship'
was there even in the formation of Unicode-5.0. The role of control
characters (ZWJ and ZWNJ) in conjuncts or chillu formation of a particular
language, as in the case of Malayalam in Unicode-5.0,  is not acceptable. It
is a design fault of Unicode, which was made acceptable through market
hegemony of few MNCs.

A community initiated standard should have a better design. Let us start,
