Subject: UAX #44 documentation issue

An item came up in the ed meeting. In UAX #44, there is the line:
It would be very bad if the only documentation of the default values for characters in the files were in comments.

My presumption is that any default value that is not in an @missing is marked explicitly on elements in the file. For example, 0590 below. If that is the case, we should document it in UAX 44. If not, then Houston, we have a problem.
