> Stop using "linefeed" as the name for the U+000a code point.

stop reinventing terms. it's literally standardized with the name "LF" / "line feed" in Unicode.




Just in case... Unicode doesn't define anything about C0 control characters. Everything you see from the code chart is from ISO/IEC 6429 and only shown there for information. Some parts of Unicode and related standards do assign a special meaning to U+000A, but often also to U+000D for the obvious reason.


He is not reinventing anything. Unicode also defines 0a as LF, NL and EOL. In modern software, 0a is used as NL anyway.
