I don't know about the points you raise, but I wish it was easier to help proofread Unihan data. Back in 2012 I compared kKangXi to kIRGKangXI and found 252 conflicts, besides the cases where a character only has one or the other. I even put together a simple tool to help fixing this, with links to the relevant pages at the online Kang Xi[1]. I had no replies…
