But if the spec refers to Unicode it's not needed. I think it makes much, much more sense to refer to a Unicode spec for character properties, both from a maintenance perspective and from a domain knowledge perspective. The CSS group should defer to Unicode on these matters unless there is a very strong reason not to. Given that UAX 14 has explicitly referred to the line-break property, it makes much more sense to refer to the 'CJ' class directly. If we want to quibble about the exact set of characters included, we should raise an issue with the Unicode folks and not create our own ad-hoc character classes unless it's absolutely necessary.
