Mapping of character collections to PDF versions is missing

Table 117 — Character collections for predefined CMaps, by PDF version

The information in "Table 117 — Character collections for predefined CMaps, by PDF version" was eliminated in ISO 32000-2. In ISO 32000-1:2008 this table contained the information in which PDF version which character collection was first introduced.

In ISO 32000-2 the contents of the table were replaced with the following text:

Table intentionally empty to retain table numbering in this document (2020).  Information is now located in the appropriate normative reference for each character collection.

According to section "2 Normative references" the "appropriate normative reference for each character collection" is located in the Adobe CMap Resources GitHub repository.

Nowhere in that repository I can find any resource that contains the information that formerly was available in Table 117.

The contents of Table 117 should either be restored and extended for PDF 2.0, or the README.md file in the CMap Resources GitHub repository should be amended with this information.

@smuehlst Since the reference is now a "live" GitHub reference (reflecting the reality that CMaps asynchronously changed), the only option is to update the README.md in the CMap Resources Github. Suggest an Issue be raised on that repo and we can keep this open until that is resolved. Please post the Issue URL here.

I raised adobe-type-tools/cmap-resources#11 in the Adobe CMap Resources GitHub repository.
