Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Consider specifying UA should not perform system fallback for Unicode PUA

> The background for this proposal is that the PUA semantics are defined to be custom to the font - using system wide fallback for them is highly unlikely to return meaningful results to avoid .notdef's.

Mostly, yes (there are some exceptions, like [CSUR](http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/)).

> the semantics of codepoints in PUA are intentionally undefined

They should be, yes (CSUR is an _intentionally informal_ arrangement for developers of fonts for conlangs)
