I concur with Simon Josefsson's summary.

These should only be made PVALID *if* sufficient information
is added to the protocol document about the particular
transition and security issues involved in making them
so. It is far safer to leave them DISALLOWED -- and in
the particular case of the final sigma, to make recommendations
for *display* of domain names.

These should not be disallowed by the table. The issues
are as Mark explained them, and the Korean NIC can simply
disallow them for their registrations if that is their
preference.
