Data for root for day periods in ICU data

[kz]

My mistake; I meant "variable day periods" when I said "day periods".

The lack of localized strings is not the problem; what I'm having trouble
with are the rules
<http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/tags/latest/common/supplemental/dayPeriods.xml>
for when to use what string. Root has a presence in that file but no rules
are defined. In ICU data, this results in root pointing to "set1" but set1
doesn't exist.

Is this a mistake, or should I hard code in how to handle root?


Thanks
kz
