Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text][css-fonts] Override (Emoji) Variation Selectors

Even the editors of UTS#51 are asking for this. Unicode is asking for this. We've been there before, e.g. https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/352#issuecomment-267547979 and https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/352#issuecomment-285122840.

You are right that VS 15 and 16 are special in that they have defacto semantics, whereas the other variation selectors are arbitrary for math characters, but VS-1 consistently selects the dotted form in Burmese, reversed shaping behavior for Phags-Pa, and an alternate form for isolate Manichaean letters. Mongolian VSs are also somewhat regular, but are not part of the enumerated series of generic VSs.
