    Because SB5 doesn't match at the start, you keep on going through the rules,
    and finally end up not breaking. I agree that the wording is not as clear as
    it should be.

    I added an example to show that. Hover over the characters and breaks in #15
    in:

    http://unicode.org/~mdavis/SentenceBreakTest-5.2.0d16.html#samples

    Note to all: we can add additional examples that illustrate tricky cases;
    Peter Edberg and Laurentiu Iancu have actions to do so, but we can take
    additional ones if they are sent in very soon. Here are the other current
    samples:

    http://unicode.org/~mdavis/GraphemeBreakTest-5.2.0d16.html#samples (none
    currently)
    http://unicode.org/~mdavis/LineBreakTest-5.2.0d16.html#samples
    http://unicode.org/~mdavis/WordBreakTest-5.2.0d16.html#samples
