This is just a change of key words. Please read the revised spec.

Do you now think that the IANA charset registry can be normative?

Recently, ISO/IEC TR 14652:2004 was canceled. Since ISO/IEC 15897
has a similar history, I am not sure if ISO/IEC 15897 should be
referenced.

Unicode property lists are indespensable for the semantics of
regular expressions of W3C XML Schema Part 2.
