I think this was a joke by Michael. He certinaly knows what CLDR is, even if
he is probably less interested in it, because it is a secondary project out
of the Unicode standard itself (it is just hosted by Unicode because most of
the CLDR contributors are interested and present or represented in the
Unicode working groups)
It remains that CLDR and LDML are just technical specifications for how the
Unicode standard can be used for those projects (there are other UTS related
to XML, and XML is also not in the Unicode standard ; there are UTS related
to charset mappings as well, also not in the Unicode standard).
And ISO 15924 is also not part of the Unicode standard (it remains a ISO
standard), despite Unicode hosts it, and the Unicode standard includes some
auxiliary data that /conforms/ to ISO 15924, but this extra data is not part
of the Unicode standard itself.
The assignment of code points and names or script block names is also a
separate standard not part of the Unicode standard: the Unicode standard
just /conforms/ there to the ISO/IEC 10646 standard which remains the
reference (this last conformance is strict and adhering to the ISO/EIC 10646
standard is part of the Unicode standard)
