Re: CfC: Close ISSUE-150 code-point-verbosity by Amicable Resolution

After revisiting the original bug[1], I see that both Anne, Aryeh, and
Henri expressed support for a format similar the one in Julian's CP for
single code points[2]. Given that some implementors did indeed express
qualified support for parts of Julian's change request, I don't plan to
pursue this specific issue further. That said, I believe we can and
should improve the Decision Policy for such cases, and I encourage WG
participants to weigh in—noting in particular bug 13263, "Issues that
have no impact on conformance requirements can consume undue time and
energy."[3]

2. There were objections from Henri to coining names for common
   character classes, a separate part of Julian's proposal. I note the
   open bug on the Decision Policy, "Sometimes Change Proposals request
   a grab bag of changes that are loosely related, but separable in
   principle," which is clearly relevant here:
