Well, since Michael is engaged in an all-guns-blazing campaign

Corner brackets have been discussed on this and other lists
on numbers of occasions before. The text in TUS 4.0 was added
to guide people to the characters most likely to be appropriate
for general corner bracket usage, since there are so many
other possible choices already in the standard. (Note the newly
added confusables: 23A1/23A4 and 23BE/23CB, as well as the
old standbys: 231C/231F, 250C/2510, and 300C/300D.)
And then there's the even newer 2E00.
Michael may well succeed in a campaign to convince the UTC and
WG2 to encode yet *another* set of corner-shaped characters
as his preferred corner brackets to recommend to medievalists
(or others). But his claim that there won't be any disunification
cost is wrong, IMO.

Thanks for bringing a balance to this discussion.
