Well, that has been discussed to death, with Warren Kumari even writing
RFC 8244 about the *discussion* that we triggered about it in 2013 (!)
at dnsop and beyond -- including Martin's presentation at ICANN about GNS.

So IMO this is very far outside of the scope of the i18n review, and
simply another topic that the IAB has decided to punt on (my
interpretation). So this is a political issue, which we cannot solve
anymore and will just leave as-is / unresolved / potentially
conflicting.  The expert reviewers (like Bortzmeyer) are also very well
aware of the discussion --- it triggered like 1000 e-mails on dnsop back
in the day...

My 2 cents
