Section A and A.1 says:

In A:Code point:The code point, or code points, to which this rule is to beapplied.  Normally, this implies that if any of the code points ina label is as defined, then the rules should be applied.  Ifevaluated to True, the code point is OK as used; if evaluated toFalse, it is not OK.In A.1:Rule Set:  False;  If Canonical_Combining_Class(Before(cp)) .eq.  Virama Then True;  If RegExpMatch((Joining_Type:{L,D})(Joining_Type:T)*\u200C    (Joining_Type:T)*(Joining_Type:{R,D})) Then True;

It should say:

In A:Code point:The code point, or code points, to which this rule is to beapplied.  Normally, this implies that if any of the code points ina label is as defined, then the rules should be applied.  Ifevaluated to True, the code point is OK as used; if evaluated toFalse, it is not OK.For the rule to be evaluated to True for the label, it MUST be evaluated separately for every occurrence of the Code point in the label; each of those evaluations must result in True.In A.1:Rule Set:  False;  If Canonical_Combining_Class(Before(cp)) .eq.  Virama Then True;  If cp .eq. \u200C And RegExpMatch((Joining_Type:{L,D})(Joining_Type:T)*cp    (Joining_Type:T)*(Joining_Type:{R,D})) Then True;

Notes:

The original text did not make it clear whether the actual rule is to be applied once for every occurrence of the code point in the label. This is a regular expression that can be interpreted in multiple ways, plus it does not take into account the case where more than one U+200C exists in a label.
