Opt Subject: Feedback on PRI #283
In Draft 1 of the Proposed Update UAX #14 (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/tr14-34d1.html), the pair table (Table 2) was not updated to account for the prohibited line break corresponding to the newly introduced rule LB21b. If the intention is to still provide a pair table in Section 7.3, then both the cell text in the SY row and HL column and the cell tooltip should be updated to the effect of the new rule.
Feedback above this line was reviewed at the November 2014 UTC meeting.

Opt Subject: Line breaks in currencies such as "CA$" or "R$" should be forbidden
My reading of UAX #14 and some testing with ICU indicates that there is a line break opportunity between letters and dollar signs. For example, the symbol for Brazilian real, "R$", can break to two different lines. This doesn't make sense! Currently, the pattern is used in a lot of places in CLDR, for currencies of Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chine (CN¥), Hong Kong, Japan (JP¥), Mexico, New Zealand, Taiwan, United States, etc. I think the quick fix is that breaks immediately before PR should be forbidden, unless there is a space or a hard line break. Apart from currency signs, a few other characters are in the PR class: 002B;PR # Sm PLUS SIGN 005C;PR # Po REVERSE SOLIDUS 00B1;PR # Sm PLUS-MINUS SIGN 2116;PR # So NUMERO SIGN 2212..2213;PR # Sm [2] MINUS SIGN..MINUS-OR-PLUS SIGN A break before neither of these make sense to me. In sequences such as "x+y" or "456-123", you may want to break the line after the sign, but definitely not before them. I think it's safe to forbid any break before PR. In case that's too destabilizing, we should definitely forbid breaks between AL and PR. So I suggest we add one of these rules to UAX #14: × PR or AL × PR
