Natural-sharp and natural-flat are surely not related to an archaic notation style, but rather simply to the need to cancel one of the flats or sharps in a double-flat or double-sharp, when a single flat or sharp follows them?

Could you provide me with a bit more background on the "sharp-sharp" accidental? It would be useful to know which period and/or idiom this accidental comes from.

No, those had already been added in SMuFL 0.5, so they are now included.

You commented that the only ornament labeled "mordent" was one with a right-hand flourish, and not the "standard" (I use the term with caution!) mordent of three little wiggles with no flourish at the start or end. So I have added that standard wiggle, and the inverted version (i.e. with a vertical stroke), *and* I have added the schleifer long mordent from MusicXML too.
