Patrik Fältström asked (speaking of the Rule Set for Geresh):
<quote>Should be changed so it is also ok if the character before or after
is
a '-'?:<end of quote>
I don't see a valid use case where Geresh could come after a '-'.
Geresh is normally used in Hebrew as the last character of an
abbreviation. The previous character should thus be a Hebrew letter.
In the context of IDNA where 2 or more parts of speech may be joined as
one token (label), I don't see a way to restrict what may come after the
Geresh.

Is what you are saying that the current rules:

Should be changed so it is also ok if the character before or after is
a '-'?
Please provide new rules.
