That seems to make sense: it has 25 ELisp files, i.e. comparable to URL.

I think `schema' would fit better in `etc/schema'.

As for `char-names/unicode', that would fit better in `etc/unicode' as well,
but in emacs-unicode we'll probably want to revisit this part because
I suspect that some of that info is already stored elsewhere.  In any case
all those char-name/unicode/*.el files should be auto-generated from
emacs/admin/unidata/Unicode.txt (maybe even on-the-fly ;-).
