<p class="MsoNormal">I have found that there were tremendous efforts behind the
work that will lead soon to the use of Domain names in different languages.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have gone through all available documents in the site. I
needed also to revisit previous versions of the Internet-Drafts. However, as my
specialization is in Arabic Computing, I have concentrated my study on the
document “<a href="http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-bidi-06.txt" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Right-to-left
scripts for IDNA </span></a><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;">“.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;">I have reviewed the disallowed code points of Arabic which are
listed below. A nice thing I have noticed that most of characters that may
cause misleading or confusion have been disallowed as it is stated in </span><a href="http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idnabis-tables-07.txt" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">The Unicode code

<pre><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;">The new algorithmic model used in IDNA2008 allows the label when the final character in a right to left string requires a combining mark in order to be correctly represented. It allows diacritics to be included as they are of type NSM (None spacing Marks). It seems this is important in some right to left languages such as Yiddish and Dhivehi. However, allowing Arabic diacritics marks (064b – 065E), which are parts of the non spacing marks, in domain names will be problematic in the future and might cause a lot of confusion in domain names. The question could be simplified as to do want a label in a domain name such as </span><span dir="RTL" style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;" lang="AR-SA">æÑÏÉ</span><span dir="LTR"></span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;"><span dir="LTR"></span> to be different from a label such as </span><span dir="RTL" style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;" lang="AR-SA">æóÑÏÉ</span><span dir="LTR"></span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;"><span dir="LTR"></span>?</span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> The question in different words that if we allow diacritics on the domain name then a domain name like</span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;"></span></pre>
