You just replied to another question. If the request came from maintainers of Perl, they absolutely don't need the *normative* reference to the ISO 6429 (or any other standard than the Unicode standard itself). All they want is just *completeness* of the namespace ; and possibly non ambiguities of interpretation of these names (for example to allow reference by a more correct name in regular expressions that would need to match, for example, parts of these names to create coherent subsets, which are for now incoherent due to past naming errors that can't be corrected and for which the only solution is to add aliases).
