It seems to me that screaming on the list and taking two different
phrases out of context and mashing them together is a demonstration
that you are not interested in good faith conversations.  Moreover,

ISO 8859-1 is completely irrelevant here, because how you get to the
point of having a U-label is totally out of scope for the IDNA2008
specification.  But whatever you do to get to that point, the U-label
has nothing whatever to do with ISO 8859-1.

It is certainly true that the DNS-protocol case preservation but case
insensitivity matching rules are not internationalized exactly as one
might like in IDNA2008.  Without DNSng, I have no idea how to solve
that.  But you seem to be willfully ignoring that IDNA2008 actually
does address this, although in an uncomfortable and somewhat
unsatisfying way.  One could be forgiven for imagining that you
haven't bothered to read the RFCs you are insisting don't address the
issue you're talking about.

The draft does not need to address this point, because the point is
addressed elsewhere.  Every draft on internationlization is not an
opportunity to re-explore the rathole down which the IDNABIS working
group laboured for several years.  IDNA is shipping.  All the current
draft does is permit TLDs that are in conformance with IDNA2008,
except that it attempts to make the change as small as possible in
order to try to minimise the possibility of surprises from software
that had understood RFC 1123 as protocol and not policy.

I think the document should be shipped as soon as possible.
