It might be better to raise this issue on the OpenType mailing list:
address@hidden Why assume that Microsoft has the correct
implementation, while it might be that they are just plain wrong? "All
glyphs not assigned to a class fall into Class 0" the spec says
(chapter2.htm), not "All glyphs not assigned to a class have no class".
