Please be extra careful here. The suggestion specifically was that
U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR (not NL nor LF functioning as newline) should be
considered WS (a technical category of the bidi algorithm, not white space
as processed, for example in a C preprocessor, or white space meaning
unprinted area on a text page) rather than BS (another technical category
of the bidi algorithm which is used to determine the boundaries of directional
blocks).
Cf. pages 3-15 and 3-17 of the Unicode Standard.
