This policy applies only to characters that have already been approved
and added to the Standard. As Naga stated in his original post, this
concerns a character in the Pipeline. It's not yet standardized, and
it's not in the Unicode 5.0 beta either. If approved, it will be added
to a version later than 5.0. There may still be time to change the
name.
