That is a new, broken definition of "backward incompatibility".

Gentlemen, if the work of this group would render invalid some existing 
IDN (never mind if "parked" or "functioning" or at second or eighth 
level), I think it's in scope to determine a mechanim for 
support/migration of those.

Talking about "work" and "group": Are there plans to make an IETF working 
group out of this friendly circle? It would help to provide attention to a 
wider range of people and notoriously more input.
