You're right about the last one (en-unified-g1-UEBC.utb) looking a bit

doesn't it duplicate information, doesn't the UEBC part say its unified
Braille for English?
Yes, it does. However, there could theoretically be multiple "unified"
codes; e.g. NUBS (although it isn't officially ratified yet as far as I
know). As I noted, the "extra" part specifies the code name if there is
more than one.
It possibly raises the argument that file names are
not enough. As I understand it the UEBC table would apply to more than
one country (eg. Austraillia and Canada), so can apply to more than one
locale.
True enough.
Even if file names aren't used, I still think we need to clean up the
current file naming mess. Perhaps they shouldn't be named by locale, but
rather, by code name; e.g. en-ebae-g1.utb.
