I noticed that you have named entities for LRE, RLE, LRO, RLO and PDF.
RFC 2070 (HTML I18N) recommends against mixing the HTML syntax for the
above with the actual Unicodes. I would guess that a similar
recommendation should exist for the named entities. I.e., people should
use <... DIR="LTR">, <... DIR="RTL">, <BDO DIR="LTR">, <BDO DIR="RTL">
and the corresponding close tags, respectively, instead of the named
entities. Perhaps you should put a comment about this in your file that
contains the list of named entities?

Just out of curiosity, are you going to submit them to the ISO SGML group
or HTML group?
