There are two different lists (for new and for "old" fonts) at
different versions, one of the latests being.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/aglfn.txt
# Name:          Adobe Glyph List For New Fonts
# Table version: 1.6
# Date:          30 Januaury 2006

I have no idea what exactly is in char-def.lua (perhaps the same as in
contextnames.txt, which has been generated from the old list).

It has been created in order to clean up the encoding mess a bit
(iso-8895-X, cp125X, viscii regimes - most regi-XXX files are
autogenerated from that list), but now everthing from that list is in
char-def.lua.

(And char-def.lua is also used for autogenerating enco-utf, used in
XeTeX initialisation.)
