We should include
05C3 HEBREW PUNCTUATION SOF PASUQ
as this is similar in appearance, at least in many Hebrew fonts, and
function to a colon. Also if the ordinary Latin hyphen, quotation mark,
vertical line etc are included, so should be
05BE HEBREW PUNCTUATION MAQAF
05C0 HEBREW PUNCTUATION PASEQ
05F3 HEBREW PUNCTUATION GERESH
05F4 HEBREW PUNCTUATION GERSHAYIM
and equivalents in Armenian, Syriac etc etc. Indeed why not include
everything with punctuation properties? According to tr31 "some
script-specific characters were removed". Why? What remains is also
script-specific, but just for Latin script.
