> As a thought, consider names written in the Arabic script. Being a cursive script, how is a TLD applicant expected to separate 'words' in a top level domain without the use of a hyphen or equivalent. Removing the spaces will cause the characters to join, and the meaning lost (besides which the A-label will contain hyphens anyway?!). I'm far from qualified to talk authoritatively on the Arabic script, or how it will be used in domain names, however I do know of parties that will be applying for Arabic TLDs - are we to exclude these applicants?

FWIW: This is a completely false statement.

Can we stay at discussing the draft please?
