... should it not be proper for Unicode to make revisions/corrections to these 
documentations (especially on this Assamese/Bengali issue) through its own 
investigative initiatives/efforts at this point of time ...

It might be most productive for people concerned with this issue to be reviewing the charts currently in preparation for Version 6.1.0 of the Unicode Standard, rather than
the already published charts from last year. Please see, for example:

http://www.unicode.org/Public/6.1.0/charts/blocks/U0980.pdf

For information on how to provide feedback on these charts (or regarding other aspects of the Version 6.1.0 of Unicode currently in beta review), please see:

http://www.unicode.org/review/pri206/

Also, please read the Unicode Character Encoding Stability Policy carefully:

http://www.unicode.org/policies/stability_policy.html

That page spells out the "rules of the road", as it were, by listing explicitly the things the *cannot* be changed, because of their potential impact on the stability of
the standard as a whole.
