James,
We considered this approach, but then how would an individual registry
decide whether to allow or disallow a character unless it were in an
official document (e.g. an RFC)?
We need to have a single clear set of valid characters, and currently
the only such list [and associated algorithm] is in
draft-ietf-idnabis-tables-06.txt

Yes. we only raised the set which concerns Sri Lanka, but I believe the
lack of usage and similarity with other letters is true for several
other language digits.
I am sorry to bring it up at this late stage, but we were under the
(mistaken) impression that this matter was being addressed.
