This seems to me a Labour of Hercules, and also A Bad Thing. Even a Very Bad Thing. In french, this is defined - and well defined trust me on that please - in the famous "Lexique des règles typographiques en usage à l'Imprimerie Nationale", ISBN 2743304820 [1]. Why would I need a computer-related spec to define what has been living in the print world for ages? It's not HTML's task to do that, IMHO. It's our national standard body's duty that_already_ has specs for printed material to include the unicodes for the chars they're listing, period.
