Instead of "REAL" I suggest "ATTACHED" which is more descriptive and
matches the term used when describing the combining classes.

Also I suggest an informative note saying that the existing characters with
cedillas may be alternatively named "WITH COMMA BELOW" saying that their
representation with the unattached glyph is also valid (and for other
languages using these characters, this dictinction of glyphs is not really
important, so the best representative glyphs should use a detached comma
below, independantly of the normative character names).
