I suggested these glyphs and mentioned their meaning as sharper/flatter intonation, but I did not write what I meant, and I did not point out that they are used in a certain variety of meanings (like the one discussed now). My sincere apologies for this vagueness, I suggest to move them to the general articulation range.

The category described in the specification exist only to help us to find a specific symbol. The associated text is an description of the usual usage for a symbol. This can be helpful if you share the same musical knowledge about each ussage of a specific symbol, but if not you might miss some of them.
So if smufl encodes the forms and not the techniques, I suggest to describe the forms and not the techniques and to group them according to their location inside a score (notehead, stem, barline, above or beside a staff, etc.).
