Ok, here I see the need for an explanation. The "statement" "For all  
characters" implies "cp" loops over all characters in the label. But,  
this also hits on another issue we are discussing, and that is whether  
these rules should set those limitations?

Is it not the case that the numeral sign only exists to the right of a  
greek character? Is it not also the case that in reality it is used  
after upper case letters, such that are DISALLOWED anyways, so this  
numeral sign can actually be DISALLOWED as well?

Three alternatives exists:

1. Verify that all characters in label is greek script (as today, but  
clarify rule)

2. Ensure the character before is greek script

3. Set as DISALLOWED

I suggest [2].
