The downside of using the form in the Unicode documentation including the
comments is that there may well be increased maintenance cost. If using the
code font tables, I would suggest a cross-reference to the format
description in UAX #44.

However, it does appear that EWG has approved that direction... EWG
guidance on suitable replacements for such identifiers in the standard
might be useful.
