Since these actually appear in the DerivedBIDI file, I'd say that they
should be in the uniprop table and available for regexp search and
others.  IIUC, the deviation from the usual Unicode conformance is
that normally you are not supposed to make any assumptions about
character code points that are not assign, but here assumptions are
made based on code point blocks.  So these defaults are not normative
in the way that the Bidi_Class property is when explicitly assigned to
a character, but they "really are" properties of those code points.

IMHO YMMV.
