| N2372 Revised proposal for encoding the Tai Le script in the BMP of the UCS
| http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2372.pdf

This script is not the same as "Tai Lue", it seems.

The proposal says:

  "Tai Nüa, Dehong Dai, Tai Mau, Tai Kong, and Chinese Shan are other
  names by which the Tai Le language is known. This encoding prefers
  Tai Le, [...]"

Are these names for the language, the script, or are they used
interchangeably?

Is the script used to write any language other than Tai Le? Also,
does anyone know which script this script is derived from?

This raises a related issue, BTW: What is happening with ISO 15924?
Shouldn't scripts like these get identifiers in it? Shouldn't Unicode
and ISO 10646 (as well as SC2) use ISO 15924 identifiers to identify
scripts?
