Right. Do we use the original, possibly broken name (which is at least promised to be stable) or the corrected one? There are a couple hundred alias names, so this isn’t entirely theoretical. (Having to ask that question puts me in the camp of liking U+NNNN more, but putting the most corrected name at the time of writing *as well* might help readers. [1] might give us some easy ways to to make that happen, but unfortunately the [2] referenced from [1] does not indicate how the name is chosen. This is a defect.)
