All of the keyboard layouts that Apple ships provide uchr data.
However, there's nothing stopping users from installing and using
third-party keyboard layouts which don't. Many of those will be users
who originally installed the non-uchr keyboard layout in Tiger and
then upgraded to Leopard; the layout just comes along for the ride.
This is not a hypothetical. It has been a problem we've seen with our
product.
Cheers,
