Also, please say "Unicode code point" rather than only "code point".  "Unicode
code point" is used many places in throughout the specification, and it makes
particular sense to use that phrase  when talking about identifiers. 

The only place where there is a definition of "(Unicode) code point" is in
section 2.1.6 'Character encodings' section, so perhaps a link to that section
would be in place:

]] The term Unicode character is used to mean a Unicode scalar value (i.e. any
Unicode code point that is not a surrogate code point). [UNICODE] [[
