Why are 05F0-05F2 excluded? (They're Yiddish, but is there a reason to
discriminate against Yiddish? Yiddish theater is real)
And, why would you exclude 059x, 05Ax, 05C4-05C7?
A perfectly reasonable thing to do w/ captions would be to caption
someone chanting from the Torah, or chanting a Haftarah which means
you'd need almost all of these (? is included in the text, but I
suppose you could argue for dropping from captions, I'd personally
include it, since omitting it would take more effort). - Related Actions Items:

Related notes:
Yiddish is included is neither CLDR nor CFF-TT. Are there existing/practical examples of Yiddish captions/subtitles? Annex B is a recommendation in any event. Suggest considering deferring until IMSC2.
Pierre-Anthony Lemieux, 11 Jun 2015, 05:35:37btw, this is a good example of why I opposed specifying any character subsets for particular languages; it was a bad idea then, and it remains a bad idea now
Glenn Adams, 11 Jun 2015, 06:58:53[meeting 2015-06-11] Deferring to IMSC 2 in the hope that CLDR will be ready with respect to Yiddish then.
