allowing space as we do not have use of ZWNJ in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">Pakistan</st1:country-region></st1:place>. Urdu users in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Pakistan</st1:country-region></st1:place>
type space whether it is required to shape letter within a word or at the end
of it. It is not possible to train all users to distinguish between space and
ZWNJ (especially as the latter is not a linguistic entity in the language and
users are never taught its concept, but a computational engineering solution
from the perspective of Urdu). As the domain name standard has to deal with
applications with which users will be directly interacting, it may also be
included as a recommendation (at least for Urdu) that the users may be allowed
to type it and it may be automatically be converted to ZWNJ (and could follow
same rules as ZWNJ after such conversion). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
