Michael, what matters are <i>wording</i> of a particular policy. What it says:<br><br>"<b>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>></b>.
Exceptions to this guideline are permissible for languages with
established orthographies and conventions that require the commingled
use of multiple scripts."<br><br>UAX #24 categorizes 0-9 as Common script, and always has, no matter what you "consider". That means that they have a different script than a-z, which are Latin script. If the text is to allow Common and Inherited mixed with other scripts, then the appropriate wording changes need to be made, which is what the UTC was suggesting.<br>

</div>I don't consider "Common" to be a script in a meaningful sense.<br>
<br>
In other words, you know what I was talking about.<br>
