Steve, please make sure to upload your fixed paper to the 2022-03-11 core
telecon wiki, under the "D" name.

I think part of the confusion stemmed from the fact that people were looking at an old
version of the paper, because I hadn't updated the link at the top of the wiki page.

Suggestion:

A universal-character-name that is a named-universal-character designates the
character named by its n-char-sequence. A character is so named if the
n-char-sequence is equal to
  - the associated character name or associated character name alias specified in
ISO/IEC 10646 subclause "Code charts and lists of character names" or
  - the control code alias given in Table X.
The program is ill-formed if there is no such character.
