One thing I was thinking about was that the RFC editor could use a tool 
that extracts all non-ASCII characters from the document and lists them 
by frequency and "derived age" (that's the character property in Unicode 
that tells you in which version of Unicode the character was first 
encoded). Although not failsafe, that would give some clue about the 
probability that the character renders reasonably.

Yes indeed.
