+ - U+02A2 LATIN LETTER REVERSED GLOTTAL STOP WITH STROKE
+ - U+1E28 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H WITH CEDILLA
+ - U+1E29 LATIN SMALL LETTER H WITH CEDILLA
+ * U+A780 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED L now has a small-capital
+ variant.
+ * The shape of the SAA5054 variant of U+00F9 LATIN SMALL LETTER U
+ WITH GRAVE is corrected to match an actual SAA5054, which is even
+ stranger than what the data sheet says.
+ * Separated 4-cell mosaic graphics characters are now available at
+ the code points defined in Unicode 16, from U+1CC21 SEPARATED BLOCK
+ QUADRANT-1 to U+1CC2F SEPARATED BLOCK QUADRANT-1234. The 'ss14'
+ OpenType feature introduced in Bedstead 002.001 and the Private Use
+ Area mappings introduced in Bedstead 002.007 remain available for
+ compatibility.
+ * The ZVBI-compatible mappings for 6-cell mosaic graphics in the
+ Private Use Area have been corrected. They had been the wrong way
+ around since they were introduced in Bedstead 001.002.
+ * The glyph complement PDF file now clearly marks glyphs that have
+ been superseded and that are only retained for backward
+ compatibility.
+ * For each character where Bedstead has variants for different
+ character generators, there is now an OpenType Character Variant
+ feature that allows one to choose between the variants and that
+ also affects other related characters. The new features are:
+ - 'cv06': straight or curly apostrophe
+ - 'cv12': comma in the centre or left of character cell
+ - 'cv14': small or large full stop
+ - 'cv26': large or small colon
+ - 'cv27': semicolon in the centre or left of character cell
+ - 'cv31': tight or loose question mark
+ - 'cv38': wide, seriffed, or narrow capital D
+ - 'cv42': wide or narrow capital J
+ - 'cv44': wide or narrow capital L
+ - 'cv61': normal or weird SAA5054-style lower-case 'u' with grave
+ - 'cv64': diagonal or curly spacing grave accent
+ - 'cv79': small or large accented lower-case 'o'
+ - 'cv84': large or small lower-case 't'
+ - 'cv92': solid or broken vertical bar
+ - 'cv96': diagonal or square cedilla
+ * The various stylistic sets for specific character generators are
+ now constructed out of the character variant mappings, so they
+ affect a lot more characters.
+ * The SAA5051 and SAA5052 stylistic sets, 'ss01' and 'ss02', now map
+ U+0027 APOSTROPHE to a curly form.
+ * There's a new OpenType stylistic set, 'ss05', which maps all the
+ Unicode code points from U+0020 SPACE to U+007E TILDE to the
+ characters generated by the SAA5055. This changes the appearance of
+ U+0027 APOSTROPHE, U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT, and U+007C VERTICAL LINE
+ into more traditional ASCII forms.
