Thanks!

Yes

Then this tag should not be applied. Note that the early XXth c.
reform is the current official spelling (later spelling reforms have
been used and then abandonned)

> Is there a need to distinguish texts that may reflect transitional XXth c. stages from current orthographic convention or a current standard reference?

Not in the dataset I need to tag. The need may certainly arise in
other contexts and I'd support any initiative for tags differentiating
the two main types of spellings of the XXth c. reforms.

> Also, literature from earlier periods of a language's history may reflect greater variety / less conventionality in spelling practice. If that is true for earlier Khmer literature, is this meant to encompass any earlier texts?

Yes

Best,
