Keeping R2 is fine.

Italics for named-universal-character , please.
Italics for n-char-sequence, please.

(Both are grammar non-terminals.)

Bullets instead of lone hyphens in the text.


In the note:

"character name alias" should always have "associated"
in front of it, because I guess that's the term of art.


NameAliases.txt should be monospace font.

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.
