In dev's A05.html I only found:
"[Update: That must now be written <+<alpha>+<digit>>, or it will be
mistaken for «alpha><digit», which doesn't work too well.]".

I see those character classes as infinite sort-of-binary masks, so
<alpha|digit> looks right to me.
Idem <[_] | alpha | digit & !Swedish>, with left-to-right application.
(I don't oversee the consequences.)
