OK. But you have also argumented incorrectly to oppose one of my questions
related to the "Common" script ID, when I was asking to what "Common" and
"Inherited" (defined in UAX#24) corresponded in ISO-15924. If I look at the
standard Property Values Aliases defined in the UCD files, I see this rule:
sc ; Zyyy ; Common
Clearly it states that "Common" is an alias of the "Zyyy" script code.
So the ISO-15924 tables should reflect it in their "ID" columns. For example in
Table 1 (list by code):
Zyyy;998;Code for undetermined script;codet pour écriture
indéterminée;Common;2004-05-01
If your arguments related to the usage of the ISO-15924 "Zyyy;998" codes are
valid, and differ from the definition of the "Common" script ID in UAX #24, then
there's a problem in the definition of the PropertyValueAliases.txt file in the
UCD 4.0 and the "sc ; Zyyy ; Common" line should be removed... This will require
an amendment to Unicode.
