Then let's hope that ISO 10646 doesn't decide to break its own rules and change "KOREAN" to "COREAN" in character names e.g. U+321D. Think what that would do to the Unicode stability policy - although in fact only five names are affected.
It is offensive to suggest that WG2 would do so.
Michael, I have never before heard of a committee or working group taking offence corporately. My remark was not ad hominem although it might have been considered ad comitatem (or whatever the correct Latin is). You may personally be very determined not to make such changes, but presumably there is a mechanism by which in principle you might be outvoted within WG2.
Anyway I was thinking not so much of a voluntary decision by WG2, but that there might perhaps be pressure, even a directive, from the top of ISO to change "Korean" to "Corean", which even you, even WG2, might be unable to resist.
This thread could die now and it would be OK.
If that is your personal opinion, you are entitled to it. If you want your personal opinion to prevail, stop prolonging the thread yourself. In fact I share your personal opinion and am only answering now to clarify my intention.
