a formal request about this.
Regarding these names in ISO 6429 again, how come these control
characters don't have Unicode names? For many uses of names, the control

Since it seems so straightforward it must have been suggested several
other review comments.)
Thanks! Then I'll skip making a formal request about this.

They have a non-empty old name field:

That's because formally the ISO control codes do not have one fixed,
normative meaning; implementers may or may not follow ISO 6429. That is why
