Yes, this is true. Ken is receptive to improvement in annotations.
See
1D0C5 BYZANTINE MUSICAL SYMBOL FHTORA SKLIRON CHROMA VASIS
* misspelling of "FTHORA" in character name is a known defect
0F0B TIBETAN MARK INTERSYLLABIC TSHEG (tsek)
* morpheme delimiter (approximate meaning)
* the normal tsheg; provides a break opportunity
* character name is a misnomer
0F0C TIBETAN MARK DELIMITER TSHEG BSTAR (tsek tar)
* a non-breaking tsheg; inhibits line breaking
* character name is a misnomer
# <noBreak> 0F0B
Etc.
But not all errors seem to be annotated (see the recent discussion about
Tibetan flourishes).
To say nothing of varying spelling referring to the same kind of
characters (OXIA --a modern transcription -- in 1F04 GREEK SMALL
LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA, but OXEIA (a transliteration) in
1D003 BYZANTINE MUSICAL SYMBOL OXEIA EKFONITIKON, but still 1D002
BYZANTINE MUSICAL SYMBOL PERISPOMENI with a final transcribed "I" and
not as in ancient Greek PERISPOMENÈ, the corresponding transliteration)
P.A.
