Thanks Chris. Thats's interesting algorithm, but I bet we can't improve
it as we are just describing existing behaviour. ;-)

I think it would be better to reference Unicode characters using U+XXXX
notation, not just by XX. U+XXXX notation is used elsewhere in the
standard. Also when referencing language (eg. Chinese Traditional) it
would be useful to add BCP47 language code to this reference to make
language reference unambiguous.
