I support adopting this draft.

I was always mildly cheesed about the fact that the transitive bit really
meant that you could have a code point such that masking the transitive bit
doesn't guarantee a distinct set of encodings.  At the moment, the registry
continues to contain values that could let this be the case, but I think
that particular ship has sailed.

(E.g. 0x5 is Cos, but there's no non-transitive form of it. If someone asks
for a new non-transitive value, 0x5 may be assigned and mean something
completely different.)

Since the draft cites a number of code points for specifications in-flight,
getting this draft all the way through RFC status will be fun.  Please make
sure to update the normative references to cover all of those code points.
