[mpeg-OTspec] script tags update

[Adam Twardoch (Lists)]

Peter,

1. I notice that on
https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/scripttags.htm
the script tag "kana" is listed twice, once as "Hiragana" and once as
"Katakana". Is this intentional?

2. I've made the following list that augments the OpenType script tags
registry
https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/scripttags.htm

with a mapping to the Unicode Script Property keywords, exactly as they're
spelled in
http://www.unicode.org/Public/9.0.0/ucd/Scripts-9.0.0d17.txt

I've mapped the OT Script Tags byzm, DFLT, math, musc to the Unicode Script
Property "Common", which I believe is correct. I've mapped OT Script Tags
like deva and dev2 both to the Unicode Script Property "Devanagari".
Whenever a Unicode Script Property corresponds to multiple OT Script Tags,
I've put an asterisk, which could be augumented by a remark such as

"*) Multiple script tags correspond to this Unicode script property
keyword, either because these scripts have both an older and a newer
shaping implementation, or because the script tags are more granular than
the Unicode script property."

I do think that it'd be very useful if this list were added to the OT
script tags registry. It would allow for stricter tying of OpenType to
Unicode without the implementers needing to to the guesswork.

Thanks!
Adam
