By the way it seems to me that an equivalent formulation of GB12/GB13 and WB15/WB16 would be to have the sequence of rules:

RI RI ÷ RI RI
RI x RI

This fits particularly well in the case of word breaking since you already need as much context as this because of the rules WB{6,7,11,12}. It also avoids regexps and negation.

Best,
