FYI, UTS 46 points to differences among browsers regarding separator (period) behavior. See<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><a href="http://unicode.org/reports/tr46/#HandlingPeriods">http://unicode.org/reports/tr46/#HandlingPeriods</a><br>
</div><br>Markus and I have further investigated some browser behavior, and have also found differences regarding normalization behavior for IDNA.

The draft UTS#46 Unicode IDNA Compatible Preprocessing has been updated. There are a number of new review notes pointing out issues and asking for feedback. There are also new tables: one comparing behavior of compatibility and escaped versions of FULL STOP in delimiting labels between different browsers, and one comparing the allowed and disallowed repertoires when processing IDNs according to the IDNA2003, IDNA2008, and UTS #46 specifications. There are also many improvements and clarifications of the text.<br>
