Understood. But randomly encountered one-offs used to be extremely rare. 
And reliably spotting a capital form takes some expertise. Assuming I've 
been sensitized for that since Unicode 5.1, my own random sample shows 
increased frequency of anecdotal encounters in recent years, not just 
pre/post 5.1.

What we might need to sample other than publications would be  a 
representative subset of German typographers / designers to understand 
whether we are unintentionally putting roadblocks by the lack of more 
complete software support for capital sharp s.
