I am not sure if the following message sent by Andrew got the traction it needed. I would request the members of the Arabic script team to look at the document urgently, especially Section 7 (and the definition of variants in Section 7.2) and comment, as the document is in the last call. There are a few categories of variants in Arabic script which are missing from the suggested list in Section 7.2 (ref. my earlier mail on variants in Arabic). <div>

to is the special meaning of "variants" we have here. In particular,<br>
it is related to but quite different from the meaning of "variant" in<br>
Unicode. It's unfortunate that the term got overloaded historically.<br>
For some more detail, see<br>

which I suggested as useful reading in my short remarks last Saturday,<br>
and which is also mentioned in the documents we've put out. Note that<br>
we orginally referred to the -01 draft, but -02 is out and is<br>
currently in last call. It would be great if people who read that and<br>
found it helpful -- or especially if not -- sent some remarks to the<br>
authors or to the working group.<br>
