Some of the code points which have "0 length on the display" are called "combining", others are called "vowels" or "accents". E.g. 5BF is not marked any of them, but if you look at the glyph, it should be combining (please correct me if that is wrong).

If I could have found a file which indicates for each code point, what it is, I could write a script.

So yes, it is updated by hand.
