as did I ... but I wish he'd carried on, because I'd like to see a
chatty explanation of what the explicit rules meant before suddenly
diving into the excruciating detail of { Ll, Lo, Lm, Mn } etc

ie: I would like to be able to read this RFC and understand in general
terms what it meant without ever bothering to look at 5890 (or it seems,
since that isn't the right place, at several other RFCs as well)

ie: the only people who'd need to follow the references would be those
who were proposing something challenging like .666, .3d or .4men (and
especially the cyrillic equivalents of these) and who wanted to know if
this was likely to lead to tears before bedtime.
