I'm confused.  Every gTLD and many ccTLDS have language and script
rules that limit what 2LDs they will accept.  When I was looking at
gTLD applications, the rules all looked pretty reasonable, give or
take what you think is a reasonable approach to handling variants.

What am I missing?  I realize that below the 2LDs anything goes.

R's,
