Please ignore this whole posting: it was the result of a bug in my
investigative scripts.

The upshot is that I have now looked at the Unicode 3.0 property
lists, and they don't add anything new.  My previous proposal stands.
However, the rationale for the fifth rule in Appendix B has now
gone away, and these characters should be treated as backward-compatibility
exceptions: they are of type Lm but are considered name-start characters.
