mappings-01 and the general procedure

I'm wondering if the general procedure is applied to FULL STOP characters.
For example, Unicode string (FW- stands for Full Width)

  U+FF41 U+FF58 U+FF41 U+FF4D U+FF50 U+FF4C U+FF45 U+FF0E U+FF43 U+FF6F U+FF6D
  (FW-e) (FW-x) (FW-a) (FW-m) (FW-p) (FW-l) (FW-e) (FW-.) (FW-c) (FW-o) )FW-m)

would be mapped into

  example.com

by the general procedure.  I think this behavior is a sort of label 
separator mapping.

Then, I recommend to add following extra mapping just after Full/Half width 
mapping of the general procedure.

  U+3002 (IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP) -> U+002E (FULL STOP)

This is for compatibilty with IDNA2003 (Section 3.1, 1) of RFC3490).

Regards,
