I agree with John and Glenn's overall position. We should refer to UTR50, not snapshot it. I also recall
the resolution and yes, it somehow made sense at the time. But since:
1. The resolution implicitly states we *will* reference UTR50 ('...until UTR50 stabilizes')
2. Maintaining a separate snapshot can only lead to confusion for implementors and authors alike
3. Minimizing this potential confusion ought to be more work for the editors
Simply referencing this document seems the way to go.
