It looks to me as if NameAliases.txt is the better reference for the C0 and C1 controls. It matches the UnicodeData.txt field 10 names for most entries where the field 1 name is "<control>", but it has names for U+0080, U+0081, U+0084, and U+0099, which have no field 10 name. The only catch is that NameAliases may have several names for the same character, with the same category tag, e.g. 0009;CHARACTER TABULATION;control 0009;HORIZONTAL TABULATION;control It probably makes sense to consistently use the first listed.

The only catch is that NameAliases may have *several* names for the same character, with the same category tag, e.g.

0009;CHARACTER TABULATION;control
0009;HORIZONTAL TABULATION;control

It probably makes sense to consistently use the first listed.
