That's just as silly as suggesting that, say, all references to "Latin"
in the Standard be replaced with "Roman" (I'd have used Cyrillic or Greek
as an example, but I don't speak Russian or Greek).

I hope WG2 sees that a more sensible response to this complaint is just
to document in the introduction to Chapter 10 (East Asian scripts) that
Hangul has several alternative names.
