Regarding reference to annexes: Since our normative reference would
say "Core Specification" with this paper, that phrasing seems to exclude
annexes. If we just say "Unicode", that's less exclusive of annexes.
I agree with Jens.
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:
This core specification, together with the Unicode code charts, the Unicode Character
Database, and the Unicode Standard Annexes, defines the Unicode Standard.
The Unicode Standard Annexes form an integral part of the Unicode Standard.
[and many other statements to the same effect.]
