Possible issue with Character Fallback Substitutions between version 24 and 25 ?

Hi!

There are some differences in character fallback substitutions introduced between version 24 (http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/24/supplemental/character_fallback_substitutions.html) and 25 (http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/25/supplemental/character_fallback_substitutions.html) ; for example, these two letters have been removed:

0153	œ	LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE	Explicit	006F, 0065	oe	LATIN SMALL LETTER O, LATIN SMALL LETTER E
0152	Œ	LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE	Explicit	004F, 0045	OE	LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E

However, they are still listed at:
http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/supplemental/characters.xml

<character value="Œ"><substitute>OE</substitute></character>
<character value="œ"><substitute>oe</substitute></character>

I was wondering what was the rationale behind ? Could it be a bug ?


Regards,
Xavier
