Power grab it may be, but it will quickly become a headache any government will want to drop as any and all problems (and there will be many) in the public health care system will be layed at their door.
Here in Canada, I'm sure the governments would love to be able to dump it, but it's so beloved of the citizenry that any party would did so would probably not be elected again until about an hundred years after the last person living at the time has died.

However, by then the file format will be unreadable, keeping the secrets of the past:^)
There actually are upper (majiscule) and lower (miniscule) case numerals; you will see them mostly in older text. The numerals are smaller (for lower case) and some extend below the line, e.g., the three. For some reason, the bozos specifying unicode forgot them. Thats what happens when the right people (in this case, typographers and book designers) aren't involved in the standard.
