After consideration, I support this. The main reason why is that if 
we specify something we will need to define how we will 
enforce/support it. The ".su" case shows that this is not feasible. 
Let assume that one of the algorithm being privately used 
calls/permits "xn--binary". How would we call them? This would lead 
to a discussion of non-legitimate "xn--" etc. However, this could be 
discussed in a more general document for the DNS.
