Good question.

The issue is not the DISALLOW/CONTEXT/PVALID etc. It is where the
mapping, filtering, etc. whatever you name it happens. Hence who
decides about it. Hence if it is Standard Treck or BCP. Hence if it is
a MUST many will disrespect leading to uncertainty, or a good old
SHOULD that most will have to consciously decide to respect or not
(then for good reasons).

Also, it is absurd to consider that Universal/User level entries (bus
side) have to be dependent from underlying application and Unicode
constraints. The MUST is that the DNS level is pure LDH.

The question no one answered yet: how many trademarks use a tatweel?
There would then be a violation of the WTO technical barriers to trade
agreement. They could claim as French TM owners would certainly do
this is to favor case non-sensitive business names.
