Historic scripts as MAYBE?

[Mark Davis]

If historic scripts are to be excluded, the up-to-date list recommended by
the consortium for U5.1 is at

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/#Specific_Character_Adjustments

(BTW, I'm strongly against restoring MAYBE, for a number of reasons already
discussed. Haven't heard back from Patrik as to why, though, we couldn't in
exceptional circumstances move characters from DISALLOWED. If that is
allowed, then it would be reasonable to exclude historic scripts, since even
if there were an out-of-the-blue revival, they could be handled.)
