The Tonos problem was also "solved for IDNA2003" by the registry using 
bundling and judicious use of DNAME, if I understood Vaggelis' message

This may be just a specific instance of "equality in the presence of 
combining marks is a language dependent issue", and thus something that 
IDNA200x should not attempt to solve.
