I agree with this, and the rest of the text you wrote.

My personal view is that this path that Mark suggests at the moment  
with a somewhat complex set of rules is sort of ok, but when starting  
selecting codepoints based on codepoint value, then we are in a gray  
zone that make things possibly too complicated...

But, what I tried to say some days ago is that AT THE MOMENT I am  
personally 100% after finding the correct rules, although complicated  
set of them. A DIFFERENT question is "are these rules so complicated  
that we should look for a new (binary) property?". I do not want that  
discussion now. We should concentrate on the "rules". If nothing else  
because I think those rules will give, if we need the new property,  
good indication on what we need from this new property.
