Subject:   ISO Comments in Unicode 5.1.0 Data Files

ISO/IEC 10646 Amd.3 includes the following new Tibetan characters
with annotations (see SC2 N3909 page 41) :

0FCE	TIBETAN SIGN RDEL NAG RDEL DKAR (dena deka)
0FD2	TIBETAN MARK NYIS TSHEG (nyi tsek)
0FD3	TIBETAN MARK INITIAL BRDA RNYING YIG MGO MDUN MA (da nying yik go dun ma)
0FD4	TIBETAN MARK CLOSING BRDA RNYING YIG MGO SGAB MA (da nying yik go kab ma)

However, these annotations have not been incorporated into
UnicodeData-5.1.0d11.txt:

0FCE;TIBETAN SIGN RDEL NAG RDEL DKAR;So;0;L;;;;;N;;;;;
0FCF;TIBETAN SIGN RDEL NAG GSUM;So;0;L;;;;;N;;dena sum;;;
0FD0;TIBETAN MARK BSKA- SHOG GI MGO RGYAN;Po;0;L;;;;;N;;ka shog gi go gyen;;;
0FD1;TIBETAN MARK MNYAM YIG GI MGO RGYAN;Po;0;L;;;;;N;;nyam yig gi go gyen;;;
0FD2;TIBETAN MARK NYIS TSHEG;Po;0;L;;;;;N;;;;;
0FD3;TIBETAN MARK INITIAL BRDA RNYING YIG MGO MDUN MA;Po;0;L;;;;;N;;;;;
0FD4;TIBETAN MARK CLOSING BRDA RNYING YIG MGO SGAB MA;Po;0;L;;;;;N;;;;;

And in NamesList-5.1.0d6.txt these annotations have been given as
aliases instead of parenthetical notes after the character name as
should be the case for ISO comments:
