[Almost OT] Re: Hangul jamo issues - are jamo sequences legitimate?

[Mark Davis]

I don't think we are anticipating allowing any non-NFKC characters in the
output IDNs. I also tend to agree with Michel and others that input should
also be much more restricted, probably also to only NFKC characters, so that
the main mappings done from input to output are case mapping and deletion.
