The (nothing but informational except for @missing lines) comments
in DerivedAge.txt state very clearly:

 # - The supplementary private use code points and the non-character code points
 #   were assigned in version 2.0, but not specifically listed in the UCD
 #   until versions 3.0 and 3.1 respectively.

Less scattering of information would be a pretty cool thing
nonetheless.  I.e., i think it would be less academical but much
nicer if no FAQ would be necessary at all because the standard as
such covers background information, too.
I remember that one of the reasons i stopped any effort to go with
(the about 120 German Mark book of) Unicode 3.0 was that i was
incapable to wrap my head around a combining arabic example
somewhere; you need access to technical reports to get it done.
