I also just found Unicode Technical Note
#11<http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn11/UTN11_4.pdf>which describes the
"Unicode 5.1 Model", with a similar table on pp. 6 & 7,
but that table is both more detailed and apparently partially in conflict
with what's in Unicode 6.2. Still, the first occurrence of 103A comes
before 1037.

Is UTN #11 out of date?
