Just one clarification, but one I feel quite important: The inclusion of case mapping is not because it is "English convention".
The case mapping data of Nameprep comes from the definition of Unicode Technical Report #21 Case Mapping which includes mapping for scripts that is bicameral, ie scripts that have well-defined upper & lower case. (Note: we still talking about scripts, not languages) It is definately appropriate to question the inclusion or exclusion of UTR#21. The choice open to the group include: 1. Choose to include UTR#21 in IDN; or 2. Choose excluse UTR#21 from IDN But it is out-of-scope for the IDN to change/modify/bypass/adopt-and-extend UTR#21. These are better done in the UTC. -James Seng > Or, in other words, > > Are there any reason we can't remove case mapping from > our spec?
