Thanks for the editorial fixes!

lower-case, upper-case, alphabetic: the Unicode properties are *not* to

Sorry, I'll fix these:

  Alphabetic: Lu+Ll+Lt+Lm+Lo+Nl+Other_Alphabetic

  Lowercase: Ll + Other_Lowercase

  Uppercase: Lu + Other_Uppercase

I think it's handy to include the short property names

because many regexp libraries allow for matching these

with something like \p{Lu}.

bog, eog:  This should point to UAX 29 rather than TR 18, because 29
contains the actual definition, which is more complex than what you
give here (you aren't allowing for Hangul grapheme clusters).  To avoid
confusion, I wouldn't include any definition at all.

I'll update the link and change to the precise definition.

I find the formal description convoluted, and think an

SRE specification would be much easier to read.

Probably won't have time to update the draft until

this weekend.
