Val,
Hi. Any mistakes in the page are mine, not Richard's or the W3C's.
When I researched Urdu, I was led to believe there was a unique Urdu script,
in addition to the Arabic script in current use. Maybe the author was splitting hairs, as most describe Urdu as a version of the Perso-Arabic script, normally written in Nastaliq style.
I'll see if I can find the reference that made me list Urdu as separate. It didn't turn up in a quick search.
I'll collect comments and feedback for a while before updating the page.
For those interested in Urdu:
