Which means that Sinhalese, Thaana, Syriac etc. are forbidden. That is
fine (with me, I do not know for the impacted people), but I wonder what
will happen when (or if) the Java support is upgraded to cover Unicode 3.0
(available for a while now).

Or perhaps Sun Inc. decided that the Java function isLetterOrDigit will
always refer to 2.0 (I believe it is in fact 2.1, but it does not matter) ?
