I agree with Jens.
The page https://www.unicode.org/versions#TUS_Latest_Version has reference
examples that just cite *The Unicode Standard*.
Once you just say *The Unicode Standard*, this is not just less exclusive
of the annexes and the UCD, the core specification explicitly says they are
included:

The Unicode Standard Annexes form an integral part of the Unicode Standard.
[and many other statements to the same effect.]
