06FD and 06FE should be PVALID for Sindhi

[Patrik Fältström]

To continue this discussion, which I think is important, I think the  
main reason for having it as an RFC is that we do NOT have to come up  
with all rules regarding changes of things in the table. Will we only  
be allowed to add things? Can we change things, and in that case what?  
Can we only add new previously unallocated codepoints etc?

A lot of this are in the documents John has written, but we do not  
have firm enough rules so that even an IANA appointed expert can do  
their job. I claim.

Because of that, I suggest two things:

- We try to come up with rules so that we at some point in time can  
have an appointed expert that help IANA with the review, and the table  
is "just" with IANA like the language registry.

- Until we feel comfortable we have The Rules, we understand we have  
to update the tables document each time we make changes to the  
exceptions. I will still add to -06 text that instruct IANA to hold  
the exception (and backward compatibility) lists found in the tables  
document.

     Regards, Patrik
