That wouldn't be a bad idea at all to adapt to (any) established standard.
The main reason for the original Private Use Area probably was that in
pre-unicode times, many music symbols didn't exist in standard fonts and
thus didn't have standard places in "official" encodings.
But again, these Unicode characters may contain a "clefs.G" sign, but not a
"clefs.Gchange". 

On the other hand, the Unicode treble clef is at U+1D11E, whereas in my
SMuFL Bravura version, it is at U+E050.

So we'd still have a contradiction between SMuFL and Unicode. These
concurrent definitions are outside LilyPond's reach, and whatever we do,
IMHO we should rather adapt to SMuFL than to Unicode, if at all.

And still, we'd have many older LilyPond versions around, most notably a
stable version, for quite a long time. Urs' Frescobaldi enhacement ideally
should ideally work for any LilyPond version.

Best,
Torsten
