I see that the slash look-alikes (U+2044 and U+2215) are included in
IDNNever thanks to the Pattern_Syntax property:

If you are going to include cp != NFKC(cp), you might as well include
cp != case_fold(cp) for cp > U+007F, since HTML user agents are
performing both of these operations (NFKC and case-folding).

I'm curious to see how John is going to word the IDNA input vs output issue.
