Not changing the prefix

OK, but using a different prefix for all scripts and languages in
IDNA2008 would just be silly. Why would we disrupt all of the scripts
and languages that are served well by IDNA2003 and xn--?

Note that Greek is not served well by IDNA2003, as Vaggelis has
explained many times (tonos issue).
