Properties - Scope of Enclosing Marks

[94-M1] Motion: When a sequence of default grapheme clusters are linked by a combining  grapheme joiner, an enclosing mark may be rendered as enclosing the entire sequence. The target of the enclosing mark is the preceding grapheme cluster or sequence of default grapheme clusters linked by grapheme joiner. The intent of the usage of enclosing marks is on free-standing default grapheme clusters or grapheme clusters linked by grapheme joiner. Clarify this in section 7.7 of the Unicode Standard 4.0. The rendering of enclosing marks in complex cases should have many caveats.[L2/03-026, 027, 028]
