Comment 27 for bug 650498

To be clear, I absolutely respect typographic diversity, and certainly
don't regard ß as a foreign particle. However, I also have respect for
the necessity, diversity, and history of ß, which is why I don't find
the Dresdner Form of the capital visually acceptable.

ß is a simple and elegant joining of a long s and a short s. To
"construct" a capital version which randomly borrows completely
unrelated features from upside down versions of other uppercase
characters to make something structurally similar to a ß is illogical,
and hardly simple or elegant; any capital version of ß should be firmly
grounded in the features of the S.

I am fairly sure that we can find an acceptable, elegant, and
transparent solution. And if we can't, at least we tried.
