"Registries should implement IDNA2008 and nothing that is incompatible 
with it" would be a better statement as the "nothing else" can be read 
to contradict your item 3.

add:

"as mandated in RFCs <get the IDNA RFC citations from John Klensin's 
draft here>."

Correct. The mandate exists and should just be cited.

And I agree with your characterization of the intent of the "troublesome 
characters" draft.
