The JET guidelines actually give some reasonably powerful tools for 
specifying which characters a particular registry wants to permit in 
domain names it registers, with the possibility to specify some (but not 
all) language-specific constraints and adaptions.
But they don't specify which characters to permit, and the specification 
language used is applied at the codepoint level, not at the Unicode 
property level.

So it's less helpful than one might think in this particular endeavor.
