Sure, examples are easier to add late in the process but like anything
else in the spec, they need to be accurate and serve a purpose.  In
this case, we're really talking about a more extensive discussion of
complex script handling.  That's a good idea but it's a non-trivial
task and is not required for this level.  This is why I think it makes
more sense to defer this to the next level.

We need to ship and to ship we need to stop making edits at this
late stage.
