@zerng07: I think CJKUnifonts does want to follow Taiwan's standard (CNS11643), China's standard (GB18030), and other countries' standard also.
However this project seema to stop the development  since 2010 (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts/).
CJKUnifonts is a truely open source project and it also has many bugs needed to fix.
fonts-moe-standard and fonts-cns11643 are the fonts released by Taiwan government, and they are licensed by CC-BY-ND (Non-Free).
The Debian package maintainers are both Taiwanese. I am the maintainer of fonts-cns11643.
As you said some glyphs of AR PL UMing/UKai don't follow Taiwan standard. I agree with you.
But I think they are bugs and we should help to fix them as a FLOSS member.
I also agree that WenQuanYi Micro Hei looks better than AR PL UMing/UKai.
But remember, WenQuanYi Micro Hei follows GB18030 and it is not compliant to CNS11643.
I think we should use AR PL UMing/UKai as the default fonts for Taiwan users, and help the development of CJKUnifonts to follow Taiwan standard.
Or we can help the development of WenQuanYi to include the support of CNS11643.
However at this point I think AR PL UMing/UKai is better than WenQuanYi Micro Hei to follow Taiwan standard.

Bug description:
  In quantal and previous version of ubuntu, we use WenQuanYi Micro Hei
  as default Chinese (Traditional) fonts for Sans, Monospace. However,
  the default font is set to WenQuanYi Zen Hei in 0.110 version provided
  by Raring.

  It is a regression that most of Chinese (Traditional) users don't
  appreciate this change. We would like to use WenQuanYi Micro Hei as
  before.

  I changed the conf provided by raring to fit we Chinese (Traditional)
  users more to have WenQuanYi Micro Hei back. Please accept the patch.
