So this does not match the current 2.0.1 (2011-07-18) update of CLDR, and also
not the major 2.0 release (2011-05-25).

Version 1.8 is dated 2010-03-17, and still does not match Unicode 6, the
current version of LDML, the modified version of the DUCET for the CLDR "root"
locale, newer contextual collation tailoring rules, and the newer reordering of
full scripts for specific languages that can be written in multiple scripts
(e.g. Serbian, Japanese, Chinese and several of its dialects, many South or
Central Asian languages). Version 1.8 also still does not work correctly for
Khmer and Lao scripts, and even includes issues with Hangul (Korean).

Version tracking of PHP's "intl" extension and ICU is then needed (in addition
to PHP version, if it creates a dependancy). You must be more specific than
just speaking about "intl" being used in MediaWiki. On the opposite ICU remains
in stricter sync with versions of Unicode UTS#10 (UCA), LDML, and CLDR data.

It's also important to track which part of the CLDR has been integrated when
compiling ICU for the PHP "intl" extension, and which specific tailoring data
have been built into that ICU module (or as external datafiles).

And as far as I know, ICU still does not natively implement the EOR collation
(as defined equivalently in ISO and CEN standards); it also has some
experimental code for future proposed or pending updates to these collation
standards (including a refined, contextual, definition of static "collation
levels", in order to later deprecate some of the too many existing "attributes"
which often lack a stricter formal definition for interoperability).
