>From the above, I get the feeling that you are proposing a static list of
characters. If, however, you are suggesting that the list of characters is
one that is included in UCD with every new version/errata of Unicode, and is
derived from a set of properties, then I think it makes sense.

Is IDNPermitted.txt the new name for it?

But we aren't actually going to list the characters in the new spec. It'll
just be a reference to something like:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/IDNPermitted.txt

Right?
