Thank you John,

I am not sure what should be considered the name of the document though since it's a simple text file and the name of the file (ArabicShaping.txt) isn't something I'd consider human friendly. I don't mind keeping your proposed "Unicode standard for joining-script shaping" description as a reference, if we all (including Peter who didn't seem to like it too much) agree that it's an acceptable description of the link to the file in question. 

Thank you,
Vlad

> 'Unicode standard for joining-script shaping' does fairly accurately describe the ArabicShaping.txt document — yes, characters not included in that document may have Joining_Type property, but that document specifically deals with joining-scripts —, but I still maintain that the better thing would be to refer to the name of the document, rather than trying to describe it.
