Why is row 03 so resticted? Shouldn't it include those accents and diacritics that are used by other characters once canonically decomposed? Or does it imply that MES-2 is only supposed to use strings if NFC form? Also, is this list under full closure with existing character properties, like NFKD decompositions, and case mappings? -- Philippe.
