Comment on L2/04-232 (on the UTC 108 meeting agenda as C.4.5)

The proposal L2/04-232 "Bantu phonetic click characters"
http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2004/04232-bantu-click.pdf
on the agenda for the upcoming UTC 108 meeting at (C.4.5)
proposes a character at U+0241 called "LATIN LETTER SCRIPT CAPITAL Q".
I strongly oppose to that name, as the proposal shows no evidence that
the letter is capital or script (like U+210A or U+1D4AC) or a "Q" in
any way (except resembling the glyph).
Such a name would be in the tradition of misnomers like
U+01A2 "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OI".
From the context of the proposal, an appropriate name would be
LATIN LETTER VOICED PALATO-ALVEOLAR CLICK.
