I've put up part (not the code tables which have been superceded) of N1578
on my web site
(http://www.indigo.ie/egt/standards/iso10646/pdf/n1578-cham.pdf) which
discusses some of these issues. As far as I can tell, no, it's just that
there is an independent vowel for U and O, but also the independent vowel A
can take the -U and -O vowel signs with the same value.
