the http://wikidna.org/index.php?title=IDNA_Mapping page has been
updated. I do not now if this new version is under WG/LC or not.
It adds the following section 4:
4. [I-D.ietf-idnabis-protocol] is specified such that the protocol
+ acts on the indvidual labels of the domain name. If an
+ implementation of this mapping is also performing the step of
+ separation of the parts of a domain name into labels by using the
+ FULL STOP character (U+002E), the following character can be
+ mapped to the FULL STOP before label separation occurs:
+
+ * IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP (U+3002)
+ There are other characters that are used as "full stops" that one
+ could consider mapping as label separators, but their use as such
+ has not been investigated thoroughly.
