Yep, and this is another issue: since udev/systemd is the master of this
database, they can change it  anytime; I mean not only the data, but the

This is a domain where there is no standard. Even sysfs, the access to
which is part of libudev, isn't stable, which is a good excuse for not
documenting libudev.
