The advantage this approach has is that by using a separate class of
characters, no substring of printable characters (including SP, HT), no
substring of printable characters can be confused with controls for text
styling.
I don't see this as a major concern. IMO, what people want from Unicode
styling is one or both of these things:
1. Extremely compact styling, made possible by assigning dedicated
characters for each style
2. Default-ignorable styling markup that neatly disappears if it cannot be
interpreted, made possible by the existing set of default-ignorable Unicode
characters.
ECMA-48 does the first not very well, and the the second not at all.
