Peter Kirk scripsit:OK, but neither you nor Michael has addressed my suggestion that there might be (irresistable?) pressure from higher up in ISO etc for standardisation of standards.
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.
That would require a revolution in the membership as well as the policies of WG2, which is committed (jointly with the Unicode Technical Committee) to the stability of the long identifiers (character names), however wrong-headed or even misspelled.
By the way, I am not suggesting that WG2 and UTC might do something wrong. Rather, I am suggesting that they should do what is right and proper, to revise their policies, allowing themselves to correct their past errors and to keep their character names in step with current naming practice (although I do think the change from Korea to Corea is a bit stupid). The appropriate stable character identifiers are not character names but code points.
