<p>Hi everybody, sorry for catching up late on this thread. I
was a bit occupied last week at the ICANN Mexico meeting.<br>
<br>
The IDN Guidelines correctly states that mixing of scripts is not allowed at
registration time unless there is a linguistic reason for doing so (such as in
the case of Japanese). </p>
<div>
<p><br>
When guidelines do you mean: The latest posted on <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/implementation-guidelines.htm" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/implementation-guidelines.htm</a>
are Version 2.2 draft 0.03 26 April 2007? It has:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>"...domain registries will associate each
label in a registered internationalized domain name, as it appears in
their registry, with a single script as defined by the block
division of the Unicode code chart.", and</li>
<li>"All code points in a single label will be
taken from the same script as determined by the Unicode Standard
Annex #24: Script Names <<a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24" target="_blank">http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24</a>>.
Exceptions to this guideline are permissible for languages with
established orthographies and conventions that require the
commingled use of multiple scripts."</li>
</ul>
<p>These have some known and reported problems with this text,
among them being that the first sentence defines script (incorrectly) by block,
while the second leaves a very large hole for exceptions. Exceptions are
necessary, the way this is written, since Common and Inherited script
characters are not otherwise allowed -- which eliminates digits 0-9 as well! --
but that means that lower-level registries have to have exceptions as well. And
it is not defined how one would get an exception granted: what would qualify as
"linguistic reason for mixed scripts"?</p>
