[alreq] Review Proposed Draft: Unicode Technical Report #53: Unicode Arabic Mark Ordering Algorithm

behnam has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq:

== Review Proposed Draft: Unicode Technical Report #53: Unicode Arabic Mark Ordering Algorithm ==
The draft is available here: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr53/

> ## Summary
> 
> The Unicode Arabic Mark Ordering Algorithm (UAOA) describes an algorithm for determining
> correct rendering of Arabic combining mark sequences.
> 
> ## OVERVIEW
> 
> The combining classes of Arabic combining characters in Unicode are different than
> combining classes in most other scripts. They are a mixture of special classes for specific
> marks plus two more generalized classes for all the other marks. This has resulted in
> problems for sequences with multiple combining marks since Unicode 2.0.
> 
> UAOA, described herein, is the proposed implementation to deal with the problems of special
> combining classes. This algorithm is the simplest algorithm that matches user expectations,
> stays within the stability requirements of Unicode, correctly renders data in normalized forms,
> and renders all canonically equivalent sequences the same way.
