Be aware that there are classes of mappings which cannot be represented in UTR22 notation as it currently stands. There were discussions in the past about extending UTR22, but they were never completed. For an examples of why and how it might be done, see http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=UTR22e&highlight=UTR22
