Unicode is complex because language is complex. Before we had that complexity in Unicode there were a lot of languages and scripts that couldn't be represented accurately (or at all) in computers. Mixing scripts in one document was nigh impossible. I'm not sure that's a world we want back. It's funny though, how people are not even aware of the fact that different languages are different until they see something break with Unicode. Casing and collation rules have been language-specific before. It's just that before lots of software didn't even attempt to do it right. Again, a world I'd rather not have back again.
