Re: Thread on - Re: [idn] Prohibit CDN code points

Dear All:
In the draft ,
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-idna-06.txt
define the single Unicode code point as follow:

Unicode [UNICODE] is a coded character set containing tens of thousands
of characters. A single Unicode code point is denoted by "U+" followed
by four to six hexadecimal digits, while a range of Unicode code points
is denoted by two hexadecimal numbers separated by "..", with no
prefixes.

My question are:
Q1:   U+hhhh  can be represented as u+hhhh  or not ?
Q2:   Here U+HHHH  is not a hostname , does it MUST be forced to lower
u+hhhh or not  in nameprep ?
Q3:  Puny code  draft  accept  U+hhhh  or  u+hhhh  to let the final encoded
ASCII character (last character of corresponding  encoded code point)  with
case upper or lower.

I   hope draft authors can help to clarify these interconnection point .
