Thanks for pointing this document. Initially I had incorrectly understood that this was an extension of the Malayalam script. But it appears now to be an extension of the Syriac script instead (used to write a variant of the Malayalam language, but fully in the Syriac script instead of the Malayalam Indic script, so OK it is fully RTL). So OK the assignment in the RTL range (of the BMP) is correct (though it could still have been in an RTL range of the SMP planes). And this is clearly not a duplication of the existing Malayalam letters due to the different properties). The encoding is justified. I apologize. Note: where is the ISO form containing the formal summary of characteristics and justifications (the list of questions and checkboxes) ?
