RE: New Thread - FVS Assignment MisMatch

Sorry, I did not mean to say that the font designer can do anything he wants with the unspecified Character+FVSx sequence.
He doesn't do anything with it and and it will not change from the Character+NoFVS - which is essentially the default positional form.

I agree Richard's point of view on this.
"don't care conditions" should means same with original. 
If we left the Isolate+FVS2 AND, Isolate+FVS3 of U1820 to font designer to decide the usage, There will be other new unstable elements appears in the future.

No.

<U+1820, FVS3> must be treated the same as U+1820, for the variation sequence is not defined.  Once <U+1820, FVS2> ceases to be specified for any position, then the same will apply to <U+1820, FVS2>.

It is not clear what should happen if only some positional variants are defined for a variation sequence.
