Elika asked if we could make a copy of the UTR data and I said yes. There was some nodding and that was about it. My feeling now is that there's some pushback from folks in Japan so I think it would be best to define the property values 'mixed-right' and 'upright' clearly and simply based on the Unicode properties defined in UTR50. Once those are resolved, we will have a clear normative definition without the need to change/tweak it later because we snapshotted the data too soon. John Daggett
