The problem we were discussing here is that only the informative and
non-normative properties are giving the appropriate identity of the encoded
letters, but NONE of the existing normative properties...
It seems to me that a little reflection would reveal that it is easiest to make properties normative when they are *not* informative, beyond whatever it is that they uniquely specify. There were very good reasons to make both code points and character names normative; people assume that the latter are informative, and that's where we get into trouble. No one argues about the fact that Æ is U+01A2; only its name is a "problem".
