Hi Norbert,

> XML Schema Part 2, which is referenced by this section to defined 
> allowed characters, provides block escapes, but not escapes for scripts,
> which have in the meantime been found more useful than blocks 
> (see section 1.2.2 and annex A of UTS 18, Unicode Regular Expressions). 
> It might be a good idea to replace block escapes with script escapes.

We are contemplating to use only a sub-set of the XSD RE syntax that is common to several RE engine.
See issue-67 https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/67

This syntax would not include block escapes or script escapes as its goal would be to limit the syntax to a common sub-set of a few constructs.

cheers,
