I tried to do something like this for the Ewellic alphabet:

http://ewellic.org/alphabet/properties.html
http://ewellic.org/alphabet/collation.html

The properties are in UnicodeData.txt format, but the collation order is
neither human- nor machine-friendly. Even if I converted the collation
order to CLDR format, it's still true that I couldn't just plug my files
into a commercial application and magically get the desired behavior.
Good thing the script is just a left-to-right layout of boxes.
