So while we could say: "we provide access to the Unicode 5.1.0 database", we cannot say: "we support Unicode 5.1.0", simply because we have not reviewed the all the necessary changes and implications. Mark's response to this was: """ I'd suspect that you'll be as conformant to U5.1.0 as you were to U4.1.0 ;-)

is the suggestion to replace the 4.1.0 database with a 5.1.0 database, or to add yet another database in that module?

(how's the 3.2/4.1 dual support implemented? do we have two distinct datasets, or are the differences encoded in some clever way? would it make sense to split the unicodedata module into three separate modules, one for each major Unicode version?)
