It resolves for me Patrik, however, as you may remember from 2002, the
question of mappings was something I thought was in-scope for the IETF,
and when the "hum" went the other way, I proposed it (more generally) to
the then-current IRTF chair.
I still think responsibility for mapping, in the most general sense, for
code-points that may properly form dns text labels, is best held by a
dns working group, and failing that, an IETF working group, so I'm
pleased to see your response to Mark. I wasn't going to comment, for the
obvious reasons.
