If the UTC embraces ACE and augments it to one of its offical unicode encoding formats, it will _faciliate_ even future pure text/document applications or rendering engines to support ACE-rendering feature without their programmers' leaving out UTC standards for IETF ACE encoding details.
I hope UTC folks think about embracing ACE encodings seriously. The naming for ACE (UTF-??? or ACUD or else) is not so important.
