In section "11.2 WhiteSpace", table 27 lists the ECMAScript whitespace characters, and goes on to state that "ECMAScript implementations must recognize all of the white space characters defined in Unicode 5.1".
However the table doesn't account for U+0085 "NEXT LINE (NEL)" which is defined as White_Space in Unicode 5.1 (see http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.1.0/ucd/PropList.txt ), and is not covered by the "Other Category Zs" row in table 27 (as it is in category "Cc").

fixed in rev23.
Clarified that we are talking about Category Zs and not the Unicode White_Space property.
Added note clarifying that the exclusion of things like NEL is intentional
