HTML character entity names would be nice to have, but it would rather
make sense to have them in a separate file.

I don't see why these should go into the unicode tables...

What I'm really missing is the "filename" of the latest ("authoritative")
proposal appropriate for the character. I think even that unicode
should publish officially and for the broader these proposal as
they are very good starting point for people who wish to learn more
about particular codepoint / script.
