An updated draft of TR#23 "Unicode Character Property Model" was approved
at the last UTC, and will be available shortly. I quote from the
forthcoming draft:
"5.4 Provisional Properties
Some of the information provided about characters in the Unicode Character
Database constitutes provisional data. Provisional property data may
capture partial or preliminary information. Such data may contain errors or
omissions, or otherwise not be ready for systematic use; however,
provisional property data are included in the data files for distribution
partly to encourage review and improvement of the information. For example,
a number of the tags in the Unihan database provide provisional property
values of various sorts about Han characters.
