First let me clarify what I am trying to name.  I want a name for the
transformation from any Unicode string to an ASCII string (and the
reverse transformation).  The thing I am naming does not include the
prefix (xx--), does not include syntax restrictions like the 63-octet
limit, and does not include nameprep.  The thing I am naming is the
operations performed by the pseudocode in the AMC-ACE-Z spec, and no
more.

If people are willing to use the name ACE or ACE-1 for this, that would
be fine with me.  But if you would rather use the name ACE to refer
to a larger operation, then I still want a name for the thing I just
described.

(Up to now, ACE has been a fuzzy term.  It hasn't been clear where its
boundaries were.)

I usually don't like acronyms, but ACE is not bad.  I never like
acronyms that are misspellings of real words, so I'd rather not use
BACE, CHACE, or SUITCACE.
