“The exhaustive list of standardized variants is also described as
StandardizedVariants.html in the Unicode character database”
This note introduces a new term, "standardized variants", that is not
used elsewhere in this standard. The term refers to defined variation
sequences other than ideographic variation sequences, but this would
not be obvious to most readers of the standard. Suggest changing the
note to clarify what "standardized variants" are.

These two references are incorrect. "Bburx Ddie Su" is not an author's
name, but means "edited by", which was mistakenly interpreted as a
proper name. The author of the 1984 work is actually given as
"Syp-chuo se nuo [su] bbur-ma syt mu curx su niep sha zho ddop ma
bbur-ma syt mu wo yuop hop, bburx ddie da su" which means "edited by
the Sichuan Province Yi Script Working Group and Liangshan Dialect
Working Committee". The author of the 1990 work is actually given as
"Nip huo bbur-ma ssi jie bburx ddie curx su" which means something
like "Yi-Han dictionary editorial group".
Suggest following the format given in the Unicode Standard version 5.0
section R.3, where the confusing group authorship credit has been
omitted:

"Code points 2060 to 206F, FFF0 to FFFC, and E0000 to E0FFF are
reserved for Format Characters (see 16.3 and Annex F)."
According to the classification of code points in 6.3.1 (and also
16.3), "format" characters are characters that have a general class of
Cf, Zl or Zp. Thus:
FFFC (OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER) is not a format character (gc=So)
E0100 (VARIATION SELECTOR-17) through E01EF (VARIATION SELECTOR-256)
are not format characters (gc=Mn)
"Code points 2060 to 206F, FFF0 to FFFB, E0000 to E00FF, and E01F0 to
E0FFF are reserved for Format Characters (see 16.3 and Annex F)."

"An IDS consists of an IDC followed by a fixed number of Description
Components (DC). A DC may be any one of the following:
* a coded ideograph
* a coded radical
* another IDS"
Ideographic Description Sequences could usefully be applied to some
non-Han scripts which comprise characters composed of one or more
character components, and so it is unhelpful to restrict description
components to CJK ideographs and radicals.
Loosen the restrictions on what characters may be used as a Decription
Component in Ideographic Description Sequences, so that Ideographic
Description Sequences can be used for non-CJK ideographic scripts such
as Yi and other scripts such as Tangut, Jurchen and Nushu that are in
the process of being standardized, as requested in WG2 N3643.
