Whenever you have questions about these sorts of issues, make very sure that you
consult the latest version of the Unicode standard, in this case, 4.0.1
<http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.1/>
You will find there the following -- much more explicit -- text, that amends the
text from 4.0:
D13a Graphic character: A character with the General Categories of Letter (L),
Combining Mark (M), Number (N), Punctuation (P), Symbol (S), or Space Separator
(Zs).
...
D13b Base character: Any graphic character except for those with the General
Category of Combining Mark (M).
Mark
