The ones I suggest they delete are in the parameter registry here: https://www.iana.org/assignments/idna-tables-11.0.0/idna-tables-11.0.0.xhtml The ones I believe you're talking about are over in the domain name registry here: https://www.iana.org/domains/idn-tables I agree that the latter are useful, even though they're incomplete, often out of date, and some registries don't follow their own tables.
