Well, that wouldn't be wrong, but it would be extremely generic. There's 
nothing in the document that isn't about characters, or is there?

I think something like

5.  Leave various mapping operations (e.g., case preservation or
     lowercasing, Unicode normalization, mapping of certain characters
     to other characters or to nothing, handling of full-width and
     half-width characters) and the handling of right-to-left characters
     as the responsibility of application protocols, as was done for
     IDNA2008 through an IDNA-specific mapping document [RFC5895].

Would be at least slightly better.
