The groupings are essentially arbitrary, in as much as they are what made
sense to me as I was putting the standard together. We could slice and
dice the current groupings as shown in the specification any which way,
but at this stage, since the glyph names and code points for existing
characters are locked down, it's sort of a moot point.
