If there are other mappings to do with other standards, and those
standards must be only informative, we already have the "/MAPPINGS"
directory beside the "/UNIDATA" directory where the UCD belongs too.

But in general, with the exception of MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/SGML.TXT, the MAPPINGS directory isn't really a place for character *name* mappings. It's primarily a place for *code point* mappings, for identifying U+0430 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A with 0xD0 in ISO 8859-5, and 0xC0 in Windows-1251, and 0xE0 in MacCyrillic, and 0xC1 in KOI8-R. Character names in other standards, like 'acy' for U+0430, are comparatively less important.
