Call for feedback on UTS #18: Unicode Regular Expressions

[Mark Davis ☕️ via Unicode]

The line just above that is:

Name matching rules follow Matching Rules
<http://unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Matching_Rules> from [UAX44#UAX44-LM2
<http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/proposed.html#UAX44>].

The deletion was based on feedback that the deleted text was a recap of the
above line, but a recap that didn't have precisely the same description.
It's best to point to the exact description, and have that be in one place.
