It is definitely useful information that could go into UNIDATA. Here is a
good use for it (and my reason for asking Mark to regenerate it for me):
when one uses a library such as ICU that manipulates 3.1 data but want to
store some data in a database that won't like anything after 2.x. Using
this, one can validate data before sending them to the database as needed.
It doesn't necessarily have to get into the UCD, except if it helps me make
a smaller change to ICU to support the version as a character property ;-)
