I've actually run into this problem with references to UAX29. Older versions just defined "grapheme clusters". Newer ones have "legacy grapheme clusters" and "extended grapheme clusters". If there wasn't a dated reference, it would be unclear what the editor meant. So I like Karl's suggestion to include both. ~fantasai
