So then, I think I'll stick to the original plan making just the data a plugin 
and leaving everything in kdelibs. I don't think that it's worth having just 
some of the data in kdeutils as a plugin. KCharSelect can't really live 
without the data files as it uses them for the categories/blocks.

If the data is just loaded on access, I think/hope it will be fine.
