I don't think they really are more intuitive; the names still do not convey
the main point you wanted to show, which that the Nameprep version info is
known somehow. I understood the previous names better (at least query, in
the spirit of programming defensively and being prepared for the unassigned
code points).

Anybody cares to find good names conveying this (versioned/dated ACE label
and unversioned/undated ACE label do not sound that much better, form what I
could come up with)?
