 \subsection{Cleanup of the Unicode declaration interface}
 
 When declaring encoding specific commands for the Unicode (TU)
-encoding some declarations, such as \cs{DeclareUnicodeComposite} do
-not have the encoding name as an explicit argument but use
-\cs{UnicodeEncodingName} implicitly. Others, such as
-\cs{DeclareUnicodeAccent} require it as an explicit argument.  This
-inconsistency has now been removed and the encoding name is always
-implicit. To avoid a breaking change for a few packages on CTAN
-\cs{DeclareUnicodeAccent} still accepts three arguments if the second
-argument is \texttt{TU} or \cs{UnicodeEncodingName}. Once all packages
-have been updated this code branch will get removed.

+have an explicit argument for the the encoding name, but instead use
