I want to challenge you on your hint that subscript and superscript are considered style. Why would unicode include some subscript/superscript characters when it's considered 'style'?

Subscript and superscript are on the border of formatting and contents, much like capitalization, which is a part of Unicode. cm2 and cm2 are 2 different things (or rather, cm2 is incorrect).

On http://www.w3.org/TR/unicode-xml/#Superscripts it says:

"For super or subscripted letters in phonetic transcription in particular, a change from superscript of subscript to regular style would alter the meaning. Note that such use in transcription is not limited to letters: superscripted small digits are often used to indicate tone."

So, in the phonetic presentation of text, w3c argues that tone is content and not formatting. I would actually think the opposite: tone is presentation and it would make more sense to use markup. For example, different dialects of a language may have different intonations while the contents remains the same.

How about text. By using the 'em' HTML tag, a specific part of a sentence will be highlighted or bolded and it may change the meaning of a sentence. Is this contents or formatting?

Here is one thing that I'm sure of: W3C, Unicode, OMG and whoever works in these groups are people who sometimes make decisions for the sake of practicality (although they'd like to give the impression that everything they do makes 100% sense). It would be very impractical to not be able to make the distinction between cm2 and cm2 in plain text. They also found it more practical in their phonetic presentation of text.

At the same rate, it is more practical to represent color, fonts, etc in markup than it is in Unicode characters.
