Please don't be obtuse. "Actionable" means that if there is text in
the Unicode book which can be improved, and if you do as I have
suggested and propose amendments to the existing definitions in order
to correct whatever it is that you think is wrong with them, then
such text could be considered by the editorial committee.

Irrelevant. If you are unhappy with the definitions, and can do as I
have suggested, perhaps the definitions can be improved. If you
cannot, well, then, please stop complaining about the definitions in
the Unicode Standard.
