Mark, IDNA2008 is talking specifically about what characters you can  
use in the dns protocol (as U-labels, and encoded as A-labels). For me  
it is quite something different than saying whether a certain URI will  
fail or not.

If we talk about domain names, lets talk about domain names. If we are  
to talk about URIs, lets talk about URIs.

I have always been a supporter of your document that I have not seen  
any update to (the embryo of an I-D) on how to do mapping and use of  
IDNs in URIs.

But URIs are not domain names. To be able to move forward, I think we  
should separate the various issues here.
