This is the implementation details, we can defer the difference for now.

Martin raised the same comment. But I still believe j.l.C.UnicodeScript 
simply defines the syntax of the Unicode script name
in the Java libraries, it does not try to interpret/implement anything 
further at semantics level. It just serves as a ID to the
Unicode script name, so it'd be better to leave the semantics 
definition/explanation to the TR#24.

Why?  Since the current list is generated by the script from the 
Scripts.txt, it's in the order of what
they are in the Scripts.txt, any particular reason they should be listed 
differently? We do have the
links at the beginning already. I don't see any advantage of putting 
them physically together.
