I'm concerned that the current IDNA2008 track record is going to lead to an update at a very inconvenient time in our release cycle for several products.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to *quickly* add important scripts/characters to IDNA2003, perhaps addressing the 80% case? At the same time there could be a parallel effort to create a more complete solution based on character properties and address the weaknesses in IDNA2003? If troublesome issues could be avoided in the short term, that might help me. I think that the goals of the IDNA2008 effort are good, however fixing some of the existing problems and how to best change existing IDNA2003 behavior and mappings is non-trivial. It seems like the discussion could continue for some time still (IDNA 2010 Winter Olympics?).
