This is going to take me some time to think through. I'll be  
commenting more about it soon.
But, no. I don't think this list is good enough.

"punctuation.separator" and "punctuation.delimiter" are a little  
blurred together.

Let's call something that…
• … is wrapped around something a 'delimiter' () {} [] <> <% %> <%= %

• … goes between stuff a separator ,.;:|

I like terminators. .;!?

"punctuation.delimiter.assignment" isn't really punctuation. It's  
certainly not a delimiter.
Getters and setters like == || && = != in javascript should be  
'keyword.operator's, not punctuation. That includes the assigner in a  
key/value relationship. (EG: => in ruby, : in javascript objects,  
etc...)
