Last December, Mark Davis indicated that a passage similar to the following would (or should) be added to UTR #24, "Script Names":
> Whatever their script property values, characters with general > categories of Mn and Me should also inherit their script from their > base character. The nominal script property value for these characters > may be different from INHERITED in cases where the best interpretation > of that character in isolation would be a specific script. This meant that implementations would need to take the General Category, not just the script name, into account when interpreting UTR #24 (now proposed to be upgraded to a UAX). This is a reasonable change, but a change nonetheless. I complained briefly about the extra overhead, then got over it and added it to my "Scripts" program. In the proposed update to #24, I don't see anything about treating characters with a General Category of "Mn" or "Me" differently. Was the change scuttled, or just overlooked? -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
