In article <0864F4FF-A615-451E-8828-433F3098A599@frobbit.se> you write:
>I can see situations where you in RDAP do want to be able to send random Unicode Code Points just with the intention

It also makes sense because RDAP is a host-host protocol and not
host-user. If the client wants to turn A-labels into U-labels for
display, that's easy enough.
