I donʼt think there is a potential to rewrite the core specs if the goal is making an abstract, given that the original authors already made efforts to keep the language simple. Whenever the goal is to add information, by contrast, e.g. about (yet) non‐standard use of superscripts in Latin text, then the added value — clearly tagged as such — will reward the effort. A big part of the core spec is made of script‐specific introductions designed to be balanced and handy. Hence part of the information is provided only in the code charts, some in the annexes. Compiling it all and writing up more detailed articles is indeed much more interesting for readers focussing on a script. Best regards, Marcel
