That's exactly the kind of statement I'm looking for, at least.

Checking: By "CJK Unified Ideographs", you mean the range 4E00..9FFF, as 
described in Blocks.txt from the Unicode database version 5.0.0.

 From my reading of the "Scripts.txt" file, these have the Script 
property of "Han".

You are not willing to speak for the following ranges also in the script 
"Han":

2E80..2E99    ; Han # So  [26] CJK RADICAL REPEAT..CJK RADICAL RAP
2E9B..2EF3    ; Han # So  [89] CJK RADICAL CHOKE..CJK RADICAL 
C-SIMPLIFIED TURTLE
2F00..2FD5    ; Han # So [214] KANGXI RADICAL ONE..KANGXI RADICAL FLUTE
3005          ; Han # Lm       IDEOGRAPHIC ITERATION MARK
3007          ; Han # Nl       IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO
3021..3029    ; Han # Nl   [9] HANGZHOU NUMERAL ONE..HANGZHOU NUMERAL NINE
3038..303A    ; Han # Nl   [3] HANGZHOU NUMERAL TEN..HANGZHOU NUMERAL THIRTY
303B          ; Han # Lm       VERTICAL IDEOGRAPHIC ITERATION MARK
3400..4DB5    ; Han # Lo [6582] CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-3400..CJK UNIFIED 
IDEOGRAPH-4DB5
F900..FA2D    ; Han # Lo [302] CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-F900..CJK 
COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-FA2D
FA30..FA6A    ; Han # Lo  [59] CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-FA30..CJK 
COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-FA6A
FA70..FAD9    ; Han # Lo [106] CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-FA70..CJK 
COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-FAD9
20000..2A6D6  ; Han # Lo [42711] CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-20000..CJK 
UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-2A6D6
2F800..2FA1D  ; Han # Lo [542] CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-2F800..CJK 
COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-2FA1D

(some of these may be eliminated by other rules in the current draft.)
Correct?
