http://unicode.org/policies/stability_policy.html says that effective starting in Version 2.0, "Canonical mappings (Decomposition_Mapping property values) are always limited either to a single value or to a pair. The second character in the pair cannot itself have a canonical mapping."

I noticed that the UnicodeData.txt file shipped with all the Version 2 Unicodes have three character canononical decompositions. For example in 2.1.9, there are these:
 01E0;0041 0307 0304
 01E1;0061 0307 0304
 1E1C;0045 0327 0306
 1E1D;0065 0327 0306

There are many more in 2.0.

Is it an error on the web site that this policy was in effect in 2.0, and it really should be 3.0? (as there no such decompositions in the data files starting in 3.0).

Or were these data files defective?
