It would be nice if the rules in the UAX source documents were tagged in
some way such that simple tooling could extract them in a useful form.

I used to have a script that would scrape the line break rules from UAX-14,
for the purpose of partially automating maintenance of the pair table, but
it (and the pair table) are long gone.
