The UCD files being parsed are the authoritative source.  Check out
ucdxml.readme.txt.

You need to know whether a given code point is assigned in the version
of Unicode you're normalizing for.  Unicode 8 is supposed to release
June/July 2015 (see http://www.unicode.org/versions/), but filesystems
you created this year will still need the version 7 normalization.
There is still some plumbing to do to pass the version along with the
string for normalization.

I think you bring up a good point, but we'll need to support multiple
versions in the long run.

Regards,
Ben
