 Author names: Valid Unicode is required, and for non-ASCII names, an ASCII-only identifier is required.
-Bibliographic text: The reference must point to something that has been translated to English; there must be at least an English language title and author.  This applies to both normative and informative references.
+Bibliographic text: The reference entry must be in English; whatever subfields are present MUST be available in ASCII.  As long as good sense is used, they MAY also include non-ASCII characters at author discretion. This applies to both normative and informative references.
 Keywords: US-ASCII only
-Body: The mention of non-ASCII characters requires identifiers, encourage characters, allow unicode names.  (Note: use versus mention distinction)
+Body: The mention of non-ASCII characters requires Unicode code points, encourage characters, allow Unicode character names.  General use does not require any clarifying identifiers or Unicode names. (Note: use versus mention distinction)

 Tables: Tables follow the same rules for identifiers and characters as the body.  If it is sensible (i.e., more understandable for a reader) for a given document to have two tables, one including the identifiers and characters, one with just the characters, that will be allowed on a case by case basis.
