In section 3.4, UTR No. 20 speaks of � cursively-connected scripts�.
(http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr20/#Deprecated)

Unicode 4.0's glossary defines cursive as � writing where the letters of a
word are connected � (I have the same definition in a large French  book
about the history of calligraphy)
 http://www.unicode.org/book/preview/glossary.pdf

 Given this definition, isn't it redundant to speak of cursively-connected
scripts or are some cursive scripts not characterized by their letters being
connected(*) ?
P. A.

(*)  Maybe some early roman cursives from the IInd-IIIrd century A.D ? But
is the definition of cursive correct then ?
