I think I don't understand you.  Do you mean (1) that browser
developers might not be willing to give up the convenience of the
*prep parts of IDNA2003 or (2) that browser developers have developed
a set of heuristic mappings of their own as part of the actual
deployment of IDNA2003?  If (1), then we have a serious problem with
the charter of this WG, and we need to know as soon as possible.  If
(2), then they're already acting consistently with the proposal we
have so far, at least in principle (though probably not in the
details).

Best,

A
