I'm sure Patrik is active in the IDNABIS WG. So if it is an issue,
he'd have spoken about it.
Yes, active there, following this list.
Still, seriously, all this aside, I doubt we will ever want
"manpages.5" as a domain name.
I think regarding digits in TLDs (or rather, non-letters), this is the
right time when one definitely should have the basic rule to not "add
something until it breaks", but instead, "only add things we do know
will not create any harm". And I think within those basic rules, we
should just say no to digits in TLDs. Anywhere. Or rather, every
character in a U-label in a TLD have to have an explicit directionality.
I think it is time to not have a general rule "lets add something if
not proven that adding will create harm", but instead "lets add
something only if proven that it absolutely not does create any harm",
and then have the people that want certain dangerous characters in
there explain why it is safe.
