idnabis-tables-04 problem #3: Appendix A.1 out of place

Patrik, et al.,

On to the next problem:

Problem #3: Appendix A.1 out of place.

Appendix A.1 "Alternative property calculation" is
definitely out of place in the document.

Appendix A is the "Contextual Rules Registry"
section, and Appendices A.2, A.3, etc., are all specifications
of particular context rules involving particular
code points, using a parallel structure.
Appendix A.1 has nothing to do with that, but instead
is a restatement of the sequential rules of
Section 3 as a (sequentially-evaluated) single
expression.

The correct place for this in the document would be in
a Section 3.1, directly after the statement of the rules
in Section 3, removing it from the confusing context
it is in now in Appendix A.

If the thinking was that having an alternative property
calculation needs to be considered just an informative
note and thus belongs in an appendix, then Appendix A
is certainly the wrong place, because the content
of Appendix A is clearly going to be considered highly
normative by all implementers of the protocol.

So my suggestion would be to move it to a Section 3.1,
instead, and apply whatever language there that you
deem necessary to make it clear that it is an
informative restatement of how to do the derivation.
